1. Never heard of these guys before

2. Looking at their wiki page, their acquisitions usually result in massive layoffs and whatever they buy becoming enshittified.

they're the PE firm that bought Evernote and are squeezing everything they can out of the remaining user base

are you going to screenshot all these responses and send it over?

There's something really funny about a company called "Bending Spoons" that's just forever squeezing its users.

I'm sure they wanted to invoke a cool visual from The Matrix, but I'm picturing a fat kid just angrily squeezing a spoon with both hands.

Tell them that you believe Evernote could be a great product too if they just tried harder.

This is like a investment firm version of an artist doubting their ability. Not really but funny to frame it that way.
