Huh, I guess my history been different, I always understood "innovative" as something like "new and different".
Making something cheaper can be innovative, depending on how you achieved that. But if you launched a product that is the same as a competitor only because it's cheaper, because your company is funded by VCs who can continuously inject cash to bleed your competitor, I wouldn't call that "innovative" at all.
But if you instead had figured out a way to actually create the same hardware but in a cheaper way, so that's why the price is cheaper, then you did innovative in the creation process, but I still wouldn't call the finished product innovative, I'd be more focused on the process itself.
- benediktwerner 1y agoThe word used in the original comment was "revolutionized" and in reference to "the market", not "innovative" and not in reference to product functionality.
- friendzis 1y agoOne of you is talking about a technical revolution, that changes what things are or how things are made. The other is talking about market revolution, where market dynamics change, typically by lowering the price.
- CaptainOfCoit 1y agoYeah, I think that's a fair characterization.
