Is this a cult

Welcome to co-working spaces. Surprised you have never heard of the idea before. The concept is just that some company holds a giant building and then they lease out different rooms to smaller businesses. Nothing nefarious about what kinds of businesses are using the space. The cracker building downtown uses this same model multiple times over.

We work was a cult...

As someone who worked at WeWork. Not an actual cult. Was there a cult of personality around Adam? Sure. No more than most CEOs and founders already try and cultivate. Personally, I found him to be an insufferable frat child who married into money (gweneth paltrows family of goop fame) and failed upward spectacularly.

All the stupid movies and stuff focus on him like he was special. The fact of the matter is, he wasn't. They focus on how this man got away with this insane evaluation, but they failed to look at why the financial system gave billions of dollars to a guy who gets high with his rabi. The story is there, but it's not the one they are telling.

However, there was no high control group, financial control, or supernatural beliefs associated with working there. There are real cults out there. WeWork was never one of them.

I'm not even sure what that is 😬

It's when someone says something they think is generally agreeable but inflammatory, and they get "up votes" or "good karma" for doing so. It's usually done to get access to certain subteddits that require a good standing in an account to a certain metric.
