Count me in as a used-to-care person. I've mostly lost interest. I think the name change was dumb and pointless, but a lot of time that sort of thing is actually more about signaling investors or internal folks, and don't especially care. The new design is busy, distracting and less informative, but again, I could live with that. Actual problems for me are a lack of interest in the things being offered. There just isn't the same range of interesting, random things made by identifiable humans. There has always been higher-margin mass market stuff and sketchy junk here; you need to keep people fed, I get that. And I don't mind focusing on product design where the margins are - knives and headphone amps are nice markets for building product development capability without any particular deep expertise; you're mostly selling adjectives. But there just isn't much that interests me here anymore, and when there is, Amazon is doing the selling part better. I mean, I wish you luck. I know the business you end up building is rarely the business you wanted to build, and just staying alive is a victory. I just don't think I'm very interested anymore.
