If there was any hope that their investment would put an end to @elonjet, it was an expensive and futile hope.

ADS-B Exchange, a community project, was just sold out from underneath the community by its BDFL: https://www.jetnet.com/news/jetnet-acquires-ads-b-exchange.html

A painful lesson in the importance of formal open source project governance. I'll be disconnecting my feeder till a new community project arises.
