The fact that you prefer one experience over another doesn't make it profitable, sustainable, preferable, safe, etc... I myself prefer Uber to cabs, but I'm under no illusions that without VC money subsidizing my experience there would be no Uber rides for me to prefer.
- reading-at-work 9y agoEven if cabs and Uber rides were the same price, I'd still prefer Uber. Wouldn't you? That said, I doubt the VC money will dry up. Companies can operate in the red, sustained by VC money, for a long time before becoming profitable. Look at Netflix, for example. Or Amazon until recently.
