I'm guessing Richard gets the money from Russ for Internet II and then holds it above PiperChat's heads to get the guys to rejoin him

If Richard's Internet II model works, he can just launch it through PiperChat updates to people's phones since the app is so popular

It has to be through some backdoor in piperchat. He pushes some update to the compression algorithm and installs a back door and he uses that to install his internet 2 on everyone's phones. This blows up and is a big PR disaster for Piperchat.

I wanted to be mad at Richard for being so petty about Dinesh making a more popular product than the platform it's built on, but I know that in the end I would have behaved the same way :smith:

That's probably why Russ is so excited about being involved. It will give him the inside track to be the guy to bring radio to the internet on the internet. ROI times 2.

I like that they brought back the men's bathroom gag, but then made the door close even slower so Jack had to stare the subbasement guy in the eyes while he peed.

That's the scene Mike Judge said had him laughing his rear end off - he was behind the glass when "Gavin" started pounding on it.

At least now I can say something in here since I didn't trust myself to spoil something.

Yes, for pretty much the exact mistake as in the show. Xanga was infamous for largest violation/fine for a while, I don't know if anyone has surpassed them.

What do they do now though? They lost piper chat, and don't have any money. I'm assuming they make a new app or something? The season preview has Gilfoyle and Dinesh working together still at least.

Richard's verbal contract with Dinesh might come back into play. Just because Dinesh was a dick about it doesn't mean the verbal contract is necessarily invalid.

Am I the only one who thought that the problem Richard noticed was going to be that, by storing every video chat ever, they would have massive amounts of child porn on their servers?

The startup constant failure and struggle is what the show is all about. Once they become successful, it turns into Ballers. :D

I don't understand why I can't harass people online. Seriously, somebody please explain why I shouldn't be allowed to stalk others on social media!
So I guess the next problem is going to be another slap fight about who owns Pied Piper IP. Hooli might be able to shelter and pay the fine if they realize they now own the PP compression algorithm, Jack comes up with the same/similar new internet plan, and they try to fight in court that Richard came up with the idea on now Hooli property and need to forfeit everything.

Just a guess but from the end of that last episode it seems likely.
