Not a fan of the ad block detection. I'm probably not going to click on bloomberg links any more. I already stopped clicking fortune links. I'd appreciate if there was a weight against sites that used that personally.
Is it over priced? Yes. Is it worth the flexibility for most startups, without question. +20 people i'd look elsewhere.

As a tenant that lack of things to do is great for me. It means they can be attentive to our needs when they arise. For WeWork, i suspect it is indicative of overstaffing campuses.
The company said it expects to lift the pause on hiring as soon as next week.
“WeWork's growth and expansion continues to accelerate and we expect to add hundreds of employees between now and the end of the year,” a company spokeswoman wrote in an e-mail. “Recent employee actions were part of the company's talent review process to ensure that we have the right teams in place that align with the company’s priorities.”
I'm surprised most of the comments here are on the merits of shared workspaces instead of the potential overstaffing of WeWork. They have opened a couple of campuses in Denver in the last couple of months, and i was surprised to see about a 2:1 company to WeWork staff ratio. I won't pretend to know the list of the staff's responsibilities, but i can say that often times they appear to be hanging out in the general ar…
