    Isn’t this just the tech industry. Run at a loss. Eat VC money. Wait. Wait.

    Some how you become normalized and suddenly important Next thing you know you’re raking profit.

    Like the guy that has no friends who nobody really likes. He won’t go away. He just sticks around. Nobody ever told him to fuck off. So he’s just part of the group.
