> About Spotify, which isn't failure

Is that true? They are still losing money after, what, 10 years?

I like Spotify but I don’t think they are out of the woods yet.

Just like I wouldn’t call WeWork (isn’t a failure) in 2018.

I guess I meant all the other suggestions documented failures or at least 'falls'. Spotify may not make money but it is still running and hasn't suffered a fall to the same extent as the other real life examples.

There are degrees of failure. WeWork has raised $23B and they’re currently worth $350M.

Losing $22B is a pretty insane failure.
