For GitHub to remain profitable they have to appease those shareholders you mentioned.
- conception 7mo agoIncorrect. They need to appease/trick/threaten/etc those that are paying for their services. Shareholders just demand they do so at the greatest (often short term) rate.
- denkmoon 7mo agoWhy? What is the correlation between profit and shareholder sentiment (besides the fact that shareholders want said profits)? They don't really influence the operation of the business meaningfully.
- kevin_thibedeau 7mo agoGrowth chart gotta go up. Only chumps run a business that makes a steady return.
- denkmoon 7mo agoSure, but I think it's the wrong way around. Appeasing shareholders doesn't make you profitable, being profitable appeases shareholders. I think there is a wealth of evidence that appeasing shareholders actually impedes profits overall.
