Day 1: Still Waiting, Nextdoor

Yesterday I sent an email to Jacob Chavis requesting the full research behind Nextdoor's latest insurance study.

Today? Nothing.

No "I'm working on it."
No "You're 57th in line."
Not even a polite "Go pound sand."

In my experience, that's become part of the culture at Nextdoor—where transparency often seems optional and accountability appears to stop somewhere near the top of the org chart. Leadership sets the tone, and that includes CEO Nirav Tolia.

Meanwhile, NXDR climbed another $0.055 today. Maybe the C-suite and Board should send me a thank-you note for suggesting they lean into the circus that is Nextdoor. At least the entertainment value is increasing.

The difference between Nextdoor and the social media platforms it competes with? Those companies may be divisive too, but they consistently generate meaningful revenue and shareholder returns. A pig in a dress is still a pig.

And finally, I got another knock at my virtual door today—from someone at Nextdoor. It happened early this morning Eastern Daylight Time. They're remaining anonymous because they fear the backlash and toxicity they believe exists within the culture.

Sometimes the most interesting conversations happen off the record.
