Profitability doesn't matter if you're not paying costs but getting the income.

Profitability doesn't matter if you're not paying costs but getting the income.
- aaron-lebo 9y agoIt does matter if you are: making pennies (Bitcoin on commodity machines is this way), are turning away users, or are using it instead of advertising. There's also the bit about stability, you might have a business model that's profitable one month or worthless the next. Who wants that risk?
- thinkloop 9y agoI believe the unprofitability is such that it can't even pay the expenses of serving the pages. Even if it could though, why would you opt for something that barely allows you to survive, rather than make a killing for all the value you are clearly providing?
