I can’t tell if this is sarcasm … it’s sarcasm right? Based on the entire history of startups, you truly don’t believe that companies can focus on user growth or profitability, and those directions have different levers?

Why do you call Spotify a startup? It was founded over 15 years ago. Hundreds of thousands of companies have come and gone during this time.

Is it because they aren't profitable just yet? How many more years are you willing to wait?
