Perplexity probably isn't a good company for the reason that they have bad design sense and product.

If you go on their main blog such as (https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/blog/perplexity-raises-series-...), the monospace choice of font (not that it's monospace, just that from a design sense it doesn't seem right), the excessively large border, and the container being unaligned with the content/image/frontmatter all reveal this.

Would short Perplexity if I could. Bullish on Exa and Globe Explorer.



I don't think that remotely matters to their success. If it does, Exa uses a font in their blog that looks pretty close to Perplexity's choice.


I see that they have bad design sense which I think generalizes to bad product sense and bad business sense.
