I don't even know why I would want to pay for it.

They sell support. Source: I was an executive there for 6 months. It was an experience.

Does the paid support help decode the useless error messages?

Yep. Definitely. Less confusion is a result of paid support.

The corpse of MySQL just can't catch a break.

The corpse? It's actively used by many companies in production. Unless you're referring to the branching point, which is more like the younger version than a corpse.

We use it in production. It’s a corpse, all right. The only reason we haven’t gone Postgres is because our codebase is extremely extensive and dependent on MySQL/Maria.

The grand-daddy of them all is the ICO.

That got its roots from the IPO. I hope you are not putting IPOs on some type of infallible pedestal.

Yes but presumably IPOs have a business model and assets, quantified by audited financials that can be examined and evaluated against competitors.

ICOs were taking real money and exchanging it for tokens with no legally enforceable equity rights. It's GoFundme with a slicker landing page, but no oversight whatsoever. There's a reason they do that and it's not because doing it through the proper channels is impossibly onerous.

An example that you don't have to just be smart and hardworking in order to succeed in business. You need to be lucky as well. MySQL was the right product at the right time. Edit: Forgot the "just to be smart and hardworking"
