Amazon's business model doesn't really work either. They just have enough runway to make sure that everyone gets out of the market then theirs will start making sense.
- the_watcher 13y agoAmazon's business model could start working essentially overnight if they moved out of land grab mode into monetization mode. Increase the price of Kindle books by 10% across the board, increase the Prime subscription rate (or tier out Prime levels), and increase their fees for fulfillment and transaction processing. You are correct that their runway lets them operate in perpetual land grab (as well as allowed them to get to the point that they could increase all these prices and not lose all their customers), but that doesn't mean if Wall Street started seriously complaining they wouldn't be able to massively increase profits.
