Everyone knows the tale of Brand X getting bought out by some faceless global conglomerate and going to shit, but does the opposite ever happen?

    What is the difference, in your mind, between changing owners and buying out a company?

    To me they’re the same thing and this is an appropriate reply for OP. Is it just a matter of scale for you? (I think we’d all like bigger examples, but this still works)

      I definitely think the original post meant things like retail stores, social media platforms, nationwide chain restaurants, etc

        I think the term the OP used was “faceless conglomorate”.

        I heard Matt Stone’s face was ripped off by Scuzzlebutt, and Trey Parker was conglomerated into a dawson’s creek trapper keeper, so seems like a fair answer to me.
