Getir, Gorillas, Flink – companies that almost everyone knows. What is happening with Getir’s withdrawal from the quick delivery service segment is also affecting social media. We have collected a few comments.
The fact that Getir is withdrawing raises questions that are affecting the internet. Like: What does that mean for Flink? We Are/ Getty/ Founder Scene

It was already reported last week that Getir would be leaving the UK market. There are also reactions: Sure, if a company is simply not designed to make money at some point – soon.
