Yeah, also doubting this as after searching around on the interwebs I cannot find anything to support this statement.

Edit: found some sort of source from deleted content from Redddit - https://www.reveddit.com/v/RoamResearch/comments/pvj0o2/off_...

Seems to be a misreading of a support reply, where they replied "this is a known issue that our engineer is aware of." and then the pitchforks come out.

The founder of the company replied in the same thread too:

> We're doing quite well.

> Besides myself and Josh (the engineers who built Roam) - we've got 5 other engineers working on the team to varying degrees -- including the author of Datascript, which Roam and the majority of the Roam clones are built off.

> Right now we earn enough each year to keep the company going for 2-3 years, and as a result we're able to invest in major open source projects that we (and all the Roam clones built in Clojure) will be able to build from for many years to come.
