This is just Forbes blogspam of the original blog post: https://medium.com/@tedlivingston/moving-forward-boldly-with-kin-ec6290a6453 https://medium.com/@tedlivingston/moving-forward-boldly-with... It was submitted to HN here, and I noted that it would be unlikely to get attention because of its title: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21055034 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21055034 HN's strict title rules encourage submitting blogspam that writes sensationalized titles like this (and it's even been dialed back now).

Except it adds context about the child abuse on Kik and some of the issues facing it. It's half blogspam, but it isn't entirely.

Maybe my reading comprehension could improve, but somehow I didn't have the loud "SCAM!" alarm going off in my head the whole time I read the blog... unlike TFA. [EDIT]: Also, "Moving Forward Boldly"? That seems like it would be #2, right below "Our Incredible Journey" on the list of this-must-be-irony titles for startup failure posts.

  Yeah, they're actually going to reduce burn by 85%, have an elite 19 person team, and fight the SEC in court. Seems pretty bold actually.

    While terminating the app that gave them all of their tech credibility.

      Sounds like the margin on a chain and ICO is way higher than an app with all that pesky overhead like ... product.

        Yeah, they had better relaunch with a similar platform immediately, preferably slimmed down and not susceptible to gross stuff, or it will really go from product into vaporware which is a funny transition to say the least
