  - Blogger, bought by google 2003[0]
  - Google Workspace, a product by Google
  - Pocket, a product by Mozilla
  - Google Podcasts, a former product by Google
  - Artifact, possibly the reason for your post[1]

I'm rooting for you to get rich so you can buy The Verge and change that ridiculously terrible condensed font they use for the lead headlines.

I don't understand how Nilay Patel goes a single day without being introduced to someone who says "Oh yeah, I love The Verge! But, I want to be forthright here... that font."

I would edit that font for you.

You mean, in order to shut them down?

No, to develop it according to my own taste.

It's more than likely that one of my purchases would be a low tier football club which allows me to play Football Manager in real life.

it's hard to buy a company without hurting it.

You take away agency, and the "special sauce" people may cash out.
