That sounds more like a continuation of the trend toward turning prospectuses into marketing materials. "Looking" and "believing" don't translate into concrete action. All this is marketing-speak, and I don't think any of it contributes real value.

You might very well think that, and it sounds like you won't be investing. But presumably people who believe "culture" is what makes WeWork a good investment are used to investing in intangible things.
Don't go confusing the kool-aid drinking employees of WeWork with the people investing in WeWork. The 80% haircut on the IPO pricing (to date) is the institutional investor's saying "no thanks" to exactly that type of feel-good BS being spouted in the S1.
Maybe I'd understand better if some one could define what this mythical "culture" is. The closest any one has gotten is copy-pasting marketing stuff from a prospectus.
SEC needs to seriously clamp down on S1 report content.
