I did listen for a while, but some people don't change, even if they're sounding positive now. There were many years for these talented leaders and devs to do more with this chain they "love," and panic/rally cries to save their cash cow doesn't feel that encouraging until there are concrete plans.
Time will show us more, but most people depended on STINC instead of doing it themselves. Some did take ownership of growing the chain, but most didn't... just created drama and infighting, so I don't trust them now.
