I think a big perception issue in the general public that the money people are chafing against after doing their homework is that WeWork isn’t a tech company.
Economically they’re more like a b&m retailer, where the shelf space being leased is for workers, not mannequins and clothes.
Their reach to individual pockets is orders of magnitude smaller. Big clients can abandon them as a supplier in a few weeks time to setup a new office.
WeWork does not have the long term emotional buy-in potential like an Apple or Facebook. It’s a business to business business. Not going to hook a billion individual users on their gadgets and services.
There’s a non-zero chance the property market implodes, and shifts to remote workers seem very likely to expand. Still need phones and software. Not downtown offices with cucumber water.
