This is weak and inconsistent. You can't blame growth at all costs -- costs including postponing profits indefinitely, and milking customers via in-app purchases, in the same sentence. It's one or the other.

If you dislike the former you should kind of like, or at least respect, the latter.

Or you're just rambling.

Not really. Milking customers is exactly "growth at all costs", only they're working on growing income or profits rather than growing number of customers or some other metric.
