Yes, it's strange that any business manages not to make money, because obviously the people running them are the best people making the best decisions, because in the best possible world, who else could they be?

This is solipsism. Just because people are random to you doesn't mean they're random to themselves. You could literally be arguing with an executive of the company that was overruled, but you're seeing the world as full of NPCs.

You may be right but, then again, organizations do go out of business every day and those reasons are usually that they were persisting with a business model that most other sane people thought was doomed to fail.

It's some sort of cyclical recurrence on HN. Everyone is so certain of how to solve/fix it, except they've never worked in media :)

I know about not coming back to a website that doesn't let me read its content.
