The audacity for a tech company to think they'll exist for a century.

This is nuts. It really brings home the need for a decentralized web.

This company underestimated inflation. A hundred years from now, the money is only enough to buy two pizzas.

Anyone who has seriously used Wordpress, seen their codebase (spoiler alert: as expected, messy, since it's a very complex system), and has seen their blunder with the Gutenberg editor (I was contributing on it, only to realize it was run very poorly) should be smart enough to know that our world --and who stays on top-- will be wildly different in 100 years.

Even the biggest denomination (empires) can change a lot in 100 years. Look at the British Empire, the US, China, etc. I've been reading the history of the Mongolian empire and it's almost unbelievable how drastic their changes in the world stage have been in just a few centuries.

One can really only own something for that long on a decentralized system, or at least one with exceptionally high resiliency. idk that WordPress has that

Would be surprised that many people decide to pay $38,000 to keep their blog alive for 100 years, with no guarantee whatsoever it will be the case. Sick move from Wordpress.

Looool noooo 😀
