- hardwaresofton 5y agoYeah, I made this comment with that thought in mind! For all of SO's history I think it's safe to say they've been very generous (i.e. cognizant of what their platform offers/the potential risks of monetization in certain ways). For what it's worth, I don't think Prosus will make a mistake in this way -- the fact that they've existed all this time without me (or most people, I think) ever hearing about them means that they are good at what they do. Regardless of what their main goals are, I assume that I'll think it's likely I continue to not hear about them.
