If you were rich, which companies would you buy?
If you were very rich, which companies would you buy? I would initially buy Blogger, Google Workspace, Pocket, Google Podcasts, Artifact, and The Verge.
- FrankWilhoit 2y agoYou mean, in order to shut them down?
- _v9nk 2y agoNo, to develop it according to my own taste.
- carlos-menezes 2y agoIt's more than likely that one of my purchases would be a low tier football club which allows me to play Football Manager in real life.
- iwanttocomment 2y agoI'm rooting for you to get rich so you can buy The Verge and change that ridiculously terrible condensed font they use for the lead headlines. I don't understand how Nilay Patel goes a single day without being introduced to someone who says "Oh yeah, I love The Verge! But, I want to be forthright here... that font."
- _v9nk 2y agoI would edit that font for you.
- gnabgib 2y agoThe only one of these that is a company, is Artifact. - Blogger, bought by google 2003[0] - Google Workspace, a product by Google - Pocket, a product by Mozilla - Google Podcasts, a former product by Google - Artifact, possibly the reason for your post[1] - The Verge, a product by Vox [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blogger_(service) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blogger_(service) [1]: https://paulgraham.com/submarine.html https://paulgraham.com/submarine.html
- _v9nk 2y agoI will buy from them.
- m463 2y agoit's hard to buy a company without hurting it. You take away agency, and the "special sauce" people may cash out.
