About that brawl between the WordPress co-founder and WP Engine

- legitster 2y ago> From where I sit, this is not a battle over open source. It’s a fight between someone worth hundreds of millions and a company worth billions. When you’re trying to figure out what’s going on in any conflict, whether it’s a family fight, a divorce, or a business fight, one of the best rules of thumb is to follow the money. This is disingenuous. Automattic is worth $10 billion and WP Engine is worth maybe around a billion. Automattic itself is also owned by a private investment group, the assets of which are far, far more than $102 billion https://automattic.com/press/ https://automattic.com/press/ Apples to apples, this is not the David vs Goliath story your are looking for. This is the "owner" of an ecosystem smothering the only independent competition.
