There are different types of merge.

There's the 'look at it! It just makes sense!' type. There's the 'we wanted to do this thing but you're already doing it' merge. There's the 'let's be a monopoly!' merge, and its sibling, 'you are getting in the way of my aspirations to be a monopoly' merge. There's the quiet merge to deal with debts, the making-it-formal-but-functionally-we-were-already-merged, the hey-that-collaboration-went-well merge, and many more.

And then there's this merge.

The "incredible free PR for almost no effort or money" pretend-merge.

Suddenly tens of millions of people are hearing about Perplexity who hadn't heard of it so far.

My dad (80 years old) just called yesterday to tell me about this cool new app he found- Perplexity. So I guess the PR is working...

I am still holding out hope for the Drumstick-TikTok Merger. We need more humor these days and i'd really love to see someone like Drumstick take it over lol
