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?

    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.

      Sure, but that was just additional context for my question, which was what this poster feels is the difference between changing owners and buying out a company.

        They’re thinking of changing owners vs buying a corporate company with a CEO. Yeah they’re similar lol but not really what the post is asking for on here
