I think the bigger problem is most of the companies that go public this way are dogshit money-losers that shouldn't be public in the first place.

All SPACs, and some traditional IPOs, are a last ditch effort of dumping worthless equity onto naive retail investors.
The fact that some recover and become "real companies" doesn't detract from this. Beware the IPO and the SPAC.

Nice stats haha.
