A business model is by definition "bad" if it doesn't make sustainable profits. Of course you have to allow for time, but Twitter isn't a startup.

Well I would be very happy indeed if I ever make a business for myself 10x as bad as twitter.

Wouldn't you ?

As a founder - yes, if I could convince VCs to give me enough money to fund a money losing venture long enough to take public to get the market to value my company at a few billion.

As an employee who has a job because the company exists? Yes

As a retail investor - I wouldn't be quite as happy.
