Perhaps. Or you can be stuck competing with a company that is pissing money into a hole and offering what appears to be a similar product for free. How are they ever going to become a functioning business w/ revenue > expenses? Underwear gnomes!

Been there, done that, it sucked.

That's what is happening now. Once those companies run out if easy money they'll be forced to actually compete on value instead of just handing product away. Which is great news for bootstrapped companies that are used to functioning without bleeding cash.
