I agree with you about the CEO and business model.

That said, I mean: >All of these spaces seem to have in common that they're absolutely hostile to introverts who need at least some privacy and quiet.

That's kind of a strange complaint, because why would such a person seek out a co-living arrangement? Wouldn't renting a studio or efficiency apartment be more consistent with his/her personality and desires as far as living arrangement? (And cheaper than a trendy co-living place to boot?)
