Is there a relationship between the application of product management "techniques" and the outcomes for many of these sites? It seems that many of these sites hit this wall when they get acquired. It feels like they start experimenting incoherently with things that don't align with the vision, or even the goals of the acquirer. My personal theory is that this stems from many disjointed experiments where the experimentation is viewed as being more important than anything else. Their mission is to deliver revenue, or some other metric, that isn't visible to users, so perhaps they do achieve their goals.
