I equally don't like the schadenfreude as you, but I also equally don't like the propping up of ridiculous business models like WeWork and Juiceros of the world that the media does.

Live by the sword, die by the sword.

I agree. I think these business models do more harm than good for the variety of actors involved with them (employees, equity holders, real estate, naive investors, etc.) I just find a sober look at why they're injurious is a lot more instructive than sneering schadenfreude.
