Ground News is a startup that had 3 rounds of funding it total. If it sees significant uptake, it will become a juicy acquisition target for any influence-peddlers you can imagine, in addition to the usual data collection and ad-monetization risks.
- Asraelite 2y agoJust came across your comment when googling this and was wondering if you had any thoughts. My understanding is that when startups have the insane levels of advertising on Youtube that Ground News does, it's because they're expected to eventually monopolize the market and generate huge revenue in the long run. How would that work for Ground News? $2.50/month subscriptions for news aggregation seems a bit un-unicorny, even with data collection and other forms of soft monetization. Do you think it's actually that viable, or are they going to massively pivot?
