Got to meet Channing and Courtland at a meetup in SF years ago. Two awesome, humble dudes. Congrats on the acquisition and being free again.

If you're reading this, I'm curious what your plans are to monetize. What companies are you taking inspiration from?

Sounds like they're going for ads to start with (their responses in the IH post comments).

Feels like less than 1% of the users are actually active regularly. Can't see how ads are gonna bring in much revenue.

Hope they manage to turn it around though because the old IH days were the best!
