"Despite all the news coverage, the follower counts and engagement we've seen from competing brand accounts were not that impressive. Within the WordPress space, many of the voices there were also present on other platforms as well.

Feels very strange to hear they aim for commercial reach only, as WordPress.org is one of the most popular things in the open source field.
I don't get it.
