Depressing news, I have no hope that the countdown to Tailscale being unusable subscription trash has not started with this announcement.

I realize this is a very ironic place to make this statement, but I am utterly exhausted by VC money destroying all of the services I enjoy, like a slow disease spreading through a herd of livestock.



They have raised before, so that money helped shape the service you enjoy.


Yes, but when they raised before they did not give up a bunch of control in return.


One gives up a decent amount of control for the first 12m, then a bunch more at 100m. Unless you work there, you frankly have no idea how much control the founders have.


12m? What are you talking about? Tailscale had already raised 115m previously.


Their series A was 12m. Their series B was 100m.
