God, tell me the editor was asleep. Tell me how it can both be “hotly anticipated” yet with “tepid interest.”

I think it makes perfect sense. I'm in both categories. I excited for it because it's probably going to be the biggest flop of the year (more than Uber/Lyft). Tepid interest from people buying into the IPO.

Maybe hotly anticipated by laypeople/news, and tepid interest by the people actually putting money where their mouth is? I feel like I'm giving that sentence too much credit though. It really is an oxymoron.
