Valuation of $5 billion would buy P/S 6.3 with negative P/E for 18 year old non-innovating company that is already in the second phase of enshittification.

The company actually would have been profitable in 2023 if it didn't pay out >$200M in combined compensation to the CEO and COO. Edit: cfo -> coo

They didn't pay $200M.

They gave stock options. Actual pay is just few million.
