That's sad.

I don't know.

I'm baffled by it.

Listen, I think we have a tendency to think because somebody has domain brilliance in one area that therefore they are structurally wholly brilliant.

It's possible he's the smartest person ever to get you to figure out how to buy shoes and buy product at the lowest possible price with the best possible delivery, but terrible at actually managing a media company, a totally different space.

I don't think I'd be very good at that.

at operating a company that's trying to get you to buy that pair of shoes at the lowest possible price.

I don't have any domain expertise, nor do I have any passion, nor give a crap about it.

And so I think he got into a space that's hard.

I think he thought you could just like magically sprinkle some technology dust on it and it would solve problems.

It doesn't.

And then I think he got into like living life on a yacht and dating and getting buff and all the stuff that

that you see him do, and he didn't pay any attention to the operation of the company.

He doesn't have to.

He can do whatever he wants.

He bought the asset.

It's capitalism.

It's a free country.

Do whatever you want.

It breaks my heart that that's what he chose to do because he ended up hiring an atrocious CEO in Will Lewis.
