Disclosure - I don't know Sahil and have never had any interaction with him or Gumroad except as an ocassional Gumroad customer.
I find this take to be disingenuous at best and outright misinformed at worst. Sahil has been very public with what happened [1]. Gumroad turned out to be a lifestyle business and not a VC funded boom or bust rocket.
He could have easily shut down Gumroad and gone on to bigger and better things. He persevered and today Gumroad has risen from the ashes and creators are better off for it. Kudos to him and his motley crew. He has extensively blogged about it and been public about Gumroad's finances. Maybe one day Gumroad will be worth $1B but it is a long road ahead and I wish the new investors the best.
Back to Sahil's actions, unless you have actual instances of wrongdoing by him, I feel you are just flinging innuendo.
