insalada··on Bytedance said to be valued at over $75B in new round
Here's me, wandering around the internet for multiple decades now. Tuning into Slashdot for maybe 10 years, HN for about 5 years, I'm tuned into pretty much all of the new school recent developments and current events, across a wide range of technologies, and I've never heard of this particular company, neither heard nor used of any of its products, nor heard mention of any of them, until right now, today, and it's the most valuable startup ever, worth 75B for no reason, with a website that does nothing.

Okay, Bloomberg. Thanks for cluing me in. Maybe you could have dropped this news on me when it was worth a billion. Or maybe when even one of its products gained a bit of inertia? No? Not really? Okay. No problem.
