Nextdoor Holdings, Inc.

It's more jobs created, but in an absolutely ludicrous and unnecessary industry.

I want to shift gears to something that I have seen on the Nextdoor app.

I have seen people bemoaning this.

I see the stories on KTLA and a lot of our local news stations, people who are, you know, it's a pretty modest 2,000 square foot home and their power bills are $3,000 a month.

We use the portals.

So Nextdoor, and I have some franchisees that tried Nextdoor years ago, and they're like, oh, no, it's terrible.

And I was like, well, they were learning.

Nextdoor has come a very far away.

Some of my new franchisees are always funny.

They're like, isn't that the one where people just complain about someone speeding too fast? Yes.

But it's also a great platform.

Organically, we encourage you posting there.

So people wake up and understand that, hey, you're being controlled by a San Francisco company.

You know, there was a woman on Nextdoor who was monitoring all my posts, flagging them, canceling them.

And I don't know if you know how Nextdoor works, but they have moderators.

And

so the moderators are they have like real people asked to be moderators who are allowed to vote whether or not you kick a post off.

I've never heard anyone, a regular person who wasn't a cop or an employee of flock or a city council person arguing in favor of flock.

You just got back on Nextdoor, right? Yeah.

Okay,

you'll see.

Okay.

I didn't get back on Nextdoor.

I just thought I'd just drop a little...

I was so excited about, oh, he's back.

The Cary Police Department wrote in a post.

to the Nextdoor platform.

Miller raised some concerns on Sunday with a series of posts in which he suggested he just might be suicidal.

As reported by independent journalist Stephen Horn, I've decided I no longer wish to live and will be killing myself tonight, he said.

We should have done a podcast, Kurt, when we started Bananas.

We should have started a cousined podcast that was us just reading Nextdoor and WhatsApp group chats.

Because I'm in my neighborhood WhatsApp group chat.

And the amount of times the internet goes down in Los Angeles and these older folks are like, AT&T's out.

Have an event.

Even it has to be start on a WhatsApp group or a Facebook group or Nextdoor, whatever it is.

Start building those ties so you at least know some last names and phone numbers.

How would you contact someone if their house is being broken into and they're not home? How would you let your neighbor know that, by the way, did you sell some guy in a black balaclava mask to break through your front window? Because that's what's happening right now.
