I think we are living at just the dawn of a long and very privacy obsessed era, that will probably become more intense as the decades pass, and the generations. I don’t see why a company that pounces on this reality now won’t be still successful at it decades from now.

- hellofunk 7y agoThat sounds speculative. Why will they lose revenue eventually? Do you think 40 years from now they will be in a worse position than today? After all, they are today in a better position than 40 years ago. Perhaps a privacy-focused company will actually perform better in a society obsessed with privacy, and eventually, their competitors who don't share these perspectives will be the ones that lose revenue. All we can do is speculate.
- afpx 7y agoIt’s not speculation, just logic. Shareholders seek as much profit as possible. The moment that being PrivAAS is worth less than not being one, they’ll switch strateg
- hellofunk 7y agoIt seems logical to me that a company that is privacy-focused in an era of a privacy-obsessed customer base will actually make more profit.
- Retra 7y agoYou're right that all we can do is speculate. That means that we can't assume things will work as they always have, or as they currently are. Which means you have to assume things will change.
