Let's say that you are right, one should always look at each company you are buying a service from, before buying said service.

How do you even go about knowing if a company is doing something like this? Where do you start?

At what point have you done your due diligent, and can assume that, yes, I will still have the same contract tomorrow as I had today?

That's public information and it's very basic information. Anyone running a business knows to check to make sure anyone they form a partnership with is a legitimate business, the same way you know not to hire a sore-covered meth addict from Facebook marketplace to redo your floors. The fact that they were using proprietary software was already a red flag anyway,

By the way, yes I'm aware you're just sealioning, no I'm not going to engage with it.

No sealioning, I just don't agree.
