Save your time and skip this article if you want any tangible takeaways; if you want to know what the company actually DID or how it MADE MONEY, spoiler alert: this article neither mentions or links to anything of the sort.

Without this basic intro description, there’s little to no value in this article to prospective readers- companies aren’t created equal and lessons learned in one industry don’t necessarily translate to others (this is not always true, but without context, I still stand by the lack of utility here).

I was also turned off by that and stopped reading after awhile.

A classic 'let me jerk myself off in front of others'

Like I said- not only is this website not linked in the article, this website also does not describe what (exactly) the company sells, how it sells, who it sells it to, or how any purchasing company would continue to bring in revenue post purchase- NONE of this being covered while talking about how the business was valued and ultimately bought.

This website looks like it was made in 2000.

Totally an interesting article though, even if the content didn’t completely live up to the title.

I learned things about the precise shape of the payoff curve I should be optimizing for (how investors evaluate assets), which was even an “unknown unknown” for me before I read it.
