As someone who much prefers bootstrapping businesses, this seems like a just insane amount of money to raise.

If you had a growing popular product like this, why on earth would you raise that amount of money? This isn't a rhetorical question btw! I would honestly like to know the rationale here?!

I guess a lot of people have a hard time saying no when offered a hundred million dollars.

You mostly take VC money when you can’t get credit from ordinary lenders, and your product hasn’t generated a profit.
