I wonder if this will have an effect on private equity for startups immediately, and have an effect on what some see as a VC bubble. Twitter was often hailed as an example of a company that didn&#x27;t need - not just profit - even a monetisation strategy, because growth! Ads! User data! You&#x27;re the product! It&#x27;s becoming more obvious that this may be a hollow way to speculate about returns.
