i think my favorite detail of the whole concept is that the entire point of having active suction cups that are constantly monitoring pressure and adjusting themselves under power was presumably because sticky pads wouldn't have worked, would have been hard to remove/change, or would have damaged the wall the solution to the problems with the suction cups is sticky pads, which they assure you will work, are easy to remove and change, and will not damage the wall

Given that, we don't think that censorship (including through demonetizing publications) makes the problem go away—in fact, it makes it worse. imagine having to say that with a straight face after just living through the first 3 years of the 2020's

all "mobility technology" startups faced the same problems: the places that their business model could work are so dense with people that drunk bros going 25 mph on a sidewalk or robot taxis blocking firretrucks aren't issues that folks are going to let slide until after the ipo uber and lyft were exceptions and they also had literal billions in vc to burn under-pricing their service
