Our Legacy's perception will probably be somewhat be impacted negatively. I think it's rare a company can take outside investment, and not have people think less of it. Even if you can't subjectively prove it, will say it lost the vision or quality went down. Ultimately once investment is accepted the goal is always the same, make more money faster and have infinite growth. Time and time again this strategy seems to ruin a brand over the long term and alienate the people who "made it cool" to begin with. I can understand founders taking the huge pay day and having the thing they worked so hard to create get bigger, I'd probably do the same. It's just a shame it comes for everything cool and interesting at some point down the line.
Social media ban is good. Like you said it can have a positive impact and be a tool for good, it rarely works out that way. I think people from all ages can be negatively impacted from it, although teens feel it the worst. Adults are - generally but not always - better equipped to handle the emotions you might feel. Social media as a whole probably wouldn't be as negative if the algorithms didn't skew towards negativity and topics that make you feel bad.
Our Legacy is cooked
