>they were given millions by HTC vive that seemingly went poof
Ignoring the Series C stuff from last year, that's all from 3+ years ago, so I'd imagine it's gone to servers and dev salaries.
>haven't released any statement that I've seen yet that explains what their monetary plans for the future are
They were talking about virtual economies last year, so I'd imagine letting people sell avatars in game instead of needing to use Booth is probably in the works.
They didn't tell users, but considering how Series C funding works, they definitely had plans that they told to investors.
>fucked it up so badly that vive pulled their support
Vive isn't a company, and HTC invested in the Series C round last year. They didn't pull support, they dumped more money in.
Here's the source on all of the investment stuff.

I have. It's very obviously unfinished, and aside from not having feature parity with VRChat, it barely has any content or community. Maybe it'll be worth switching to eventually, but there's no certainly reason to yet.
