ELI15: WeWork - eviltoast

WeWork was a company that made the news because it’s propagandists turned out to be frauds and it went bust despite massive overhype.

But I don’t know the details. What I don’t understand is how it was so hyped in the first place. From my understanding they rented out office spaces. But is that really that revolutionary? What was their value proposition?

    Yeah, basically landlording with more capitalism layered on top, with a “I’m just like you” populist spin.
