    If they’re public, they have huge pressure. If not, they can play their own game with a specific strategy that a shareholder might not like. So this could well be a good thing. Public trading usually leads to enshitification.

        But you are still obligated to always act in the best interest of the shareholders. Private means you don’t answer to anyone outside the company and are not forced to do everything to pump the stock price every quarter.
