I remember thinking they were neat a few years ago, I made an account and tried out exchanging some keys. It’s slick but I don’t see how it was ever going to be a mainstream product for non technical users who mostly don’t even understand what encryption is. Haven’t heard anything about them since, I kinda already assumed they were dead.
It doesn’t have to be mainstream. A niche product can be viable.
Unless you begin to accept investors money who want an exponential growth at all cost. But if that’s what you want as an investor, no idea why you would invest in Keybase.
You can also have investors that buy into a company because it is counterproductive to their goals. Not all investments are meant to produce financial profit.
