I can't tell is this is sarcasm ... it's sarcasm right? There is no "lever to profitability".
- blairbeckwith 4y agoI can’t tell if this is sarcasm … it’s sarcasm right? Based on the entire history of startups, you truly don’t believe that companies can focus on user growth or profitability, and those directions have different levers?
- aeyes 4y agoWhy do you call Spotify a startup? It was founded over 15 years ago. Hundreds of thousands of companies have come and gone during this time. Is it because they aren't profitable just yet? How many more years are you willing to wait?

- oneoff786 4y agoWhy not? You don’t think they could eek out an additional 70 cents per month per customer if they wanted to focus on that right now?
