> employed over 8,500 people [...] making millionaires of 70 of her team members. That's less than 1%. So much for “profit-sharing and company co-ownership”. I don't think the author knows what those words mean...

That “YouTube explanation” doesn't actually explain how any of the Dweets work. Don't get me wrong, his work is amazing, I loved seeing it and I'm excited to listen to him show it off; I'm just saying that anyone looking
