I’d love a founder perspective on this. If they kept saying “we won’t sell” and then sell, is that just plain breaking all promises and selling out, as this article suggests? Or was there more going on?

Trust only money and you’ll be on the right side of history - unfortunately. Trust, moral responsibility and kindness aren’t profitable - in terms of capital.
