Dotcom firms often paid suppliers, ad agencies, lawyers and even landlords with stock or equity to save cash. AOL swapped shares for services and ads (e.g., Homestore, DrKoop). Telecom suppliers like Lucent, Cisco and Nortel used vendor financing, sometimes with equity or warrants, to drive equipment sales.

BobbyBroccoli’s stuff is great!
Please pop please pop. I’m tired of all the fake hype and obvious ai propaganda I wanna see the US economy burn to the ground
Everything old is new again, and these AI companies can only use creative accounting for so long to keep investors…I wonder when the money will dry up.
Hopefully coinciding with the crushing defeat of the imperialists in west Asia along with the ascension of the century of Chinese domination
I wanna see how my employer (who recently finalized a contract with Anslopic) tries to wriggle their way out of this jam.
They’re just gonna have to switch to one of the many Chinese vendors when the bubble in the US pops.
