Theranos never had a working product and actively did harm, so I don’t know how having patents would have ever helped them scale that business model. Beyond that, these are extraor…

Yes, I do. It’s a global pandemic - if you’re thinking about profit motive at a time like this you are part of the problem. Full stop.

It might be some of that, but folks on that subreddit tend to take super risky positions that can go south on them very fast. It’s possible a few made some really stupid bets durin…

It’s definitely the invisible hand of the market at work here and not the massive amounts of marketing subsidies being thrown at the product. That’s why Uber is posting so much pro…
