So by this reasoning, something like Linux has exactly $0 value in monetary terms. Linux is never an application, it never does something that actual users pay for (the "users" who pay for Linux support are just developers and corporations who use it to develop something else).
>I also don't think you understand what profit is and the difference between profit and revenue.
Yes, I don't understand an elementary distinction between terms that anybody with a dictionary understands. This is quite a fair and productive point for you to make.

Probably the one thing you're right about in this, I'm indeed not interested in debating incredibly insecure people fond of accusing others of ignorance (quite often a projection technique) instead of engaging with their arguments or citing specific examples or research.
For the sake of analogy, perhaps I should read some articles on equine veterinary practices and start talking down to practitioners in the field, all for the sake of making my internet ego feel better.
Yeah, 15 years in industry and academia, and you don't know how statistics and probability theory are different.

>the global market of offering a speech-to-text API is valued at 1.3 billion dollars in 2019

No, you used it in exactly this context:
" >How significant are these top 3 things?
They generate billions of dollars of profit "
and the claim was incorrect regarding example 1.
I also don't think you understand what profit is and the difference between profit and revenue. Regardless, this exchange has become pretty pointless.
