Google maps now includes plus codes which are open so I don't think W3W stands a chance anyway. Not should they. It's an idea you can implement in half an hour. It doesn't need to be a commercial business.

I'd still rather remember/type/say three words than something like 5P56+4Q. I'm really surprised that no one thinks pronounciability has value.

Words do have value, but what W3W takes away from you (money!) has more value.

It's free for everything I need as an end user AFAICT. How does it take away money?

w3w has been around for a few years, and it hasn't caught on, so it's fair to say it's pretty much just a zombie of an idea now.
