"tried to pivot", that's very different. Maybe it should read "announcing that they would try to pivot", but you get the idea.

I have seen many companies announce that they would look into blockchain and NFT. Which is exactly what Dropbox is saying now for AI.

"Dipped their feet" might've been better description.

"Made some BS PR headlines, while not even having a clue how to do anything with those things, and surely not anything worth their customer's while" is an ever better description.

Which shouldn't surprise anyone in an economic environment where the money fountain dried up. Every company is desperately chasing new revenue sources over growing their existing ones right now.
