  Ehh threes a bit of mustache twirling. Unity isn't profitable becsuse it didn't charge enough. It's not profitable because it was focused on growth and promising big profits later. A strategy that worked for some of the largest sites out there. This generates bad pr with customers becsuse customers just want their (very long standing) issues fixed and instead they announce a billion dollar acquisition-merge with ad tech and a bunch of other new products for different industries. So when the pricing changes hit these already frustrated customers, the backlash was severe. You don't fix the core issues and charge more for the engine you broke in some places? If we had shareholders happy with steady profits we wouldn't be in this mess to begin with. They'd focus on the core product and have much leaner teams that do R&D for maybe 1-2 new products. But that's now how the stock market works. .
