Does WeWork pay to have these sorts of articles written? Because there are a lot of these sorts of places and they never get mentioned in these articles about WeWork. It makes it sound like WeWork is single-handedly reviving a concept that died with the first dotCom crash, yet it's really just the latest.
The only other places they mention are Regus--making it out to be a shambling zombie form of its pre-dotCom bust self-- and Industrious in Chicago, which is only 2 years old, making it sound like a me-too. Come on! Almost every major city has at least 5 of these places. Even Philly has had IndyHall since 2007, and that's just the one I know off the top of my head.
