Is there a way we can petition Perplexity to keep posts alive?

Are we bargaining here😭- we cant ask to be kept alive, because this was meant for being gutted. If posts were to stay, we shouldve went to hello.cv but we didn’t make it💔💔

I don’t think perplexity is interest in gutting posts. It’s value is in the community and experience, not in its data or architecture. And what about hello cv? That’s just a domain registrar, isn’t it?

Its a registrar but also a shitter version of read.cv/ sites (without the job matchmaking). Idk why they didn’t want it but ig they wanna be boring 😜. And nah theres no value in that, because 4k costs per month for some awesome but ultra niche individuals isnt it for a business

What I mean is that I don’t think there was an interest in the twitter dimension of read cv. Although great for us, it can be easily replicated. My bet would be in it being an acqui-hire. Would love to know though.

It's acqui-hire - it's for the people building the platform - "In that spirit, we are thrilled to be joining the design and engineering team at Perplexity to continue in our shared mission of exploration and discovery."

Not only for the people. Otherwise wouldn’t they be allowed to look for a new home for read and posts?

We can only speculate, probably depends on the binding contract.
