Re:SoftBank’s Vision Fund Loses $17.7B on WeWork, Uber by chrisabrams on Monday May 18, 2020 @02:43PM (#23226688)
I'm sure some people would disagree with you. What you value isn't the same as what others necessarily value. That doesn't make it a terrible idea in itself.

The experience of a WeWork and Regus are very different. They can both co-exist because some people like a more community type environment, and some people just want a modular space that is affordable.

WeWork tried a bunch of things that you might not find at a typical coworking space but I personally would pay 2x for a WeWork space over the same Regus space because I will get more value out of the WeWork space which is meeting people. I have spent plenty of time in my career in WeWork and Regus spaces, and WeWork has been much more fruitful in terms of the network effect.

It does not matter what people value, it matters what market values. And for the market having a yoga CEO is not a selling point for a car.
