The Levers
• Direct Relationship with Users
• They Own the Relationship
• No One is between Demand and them
• Zero Marginal Costs For Serving Incremental Users
• No COGS
• No Distribution Cost
• No Transaction Cost
• Abundant Supply
• With either zero marginal acquisition cost
• OR acquisition cost that scales
Those are attractive terms for the business. Data improves over time
the service and creates a moat for competition. But data does not
create the business model.
