  Yep. that’s the classic shitty business model

  • Make a site that’s attractive to use for a lot of people

  • Once you have enough people, lock in the users with network effect, walled garden, etc

  • Use the users to draw in businesses

  • Lock in the businesses and squeeze them for profit.

  • Squeeze users and businesses for money, abandon any maintenance and improvement on the site except for monetization.

    It’s the 3 D’s.

    1. Develop the product
    2. Draw people in
    3. Dump a nice steamy log on the whole thing
