why is this relevant? [edit: fwiw, the question so obviously has the answer "no" (for hn-related values of "scale") that it doesn't seem to be an honest enquiry at all, but an attempt to make a point (for some hn-related value of "point").]


It might not be relevant in this particular thread. I was genuinely interested in the point of view of the person who is running such business.

EDIT: I see, but I guess I'm not that much HNer to agree with you. Anyway, I got quite interesting answers (including yours).


Ahh…I don't run the business. In fact, I'm a pretty recent hire.

From where I sit, it's clearly a different beast from where I've worked before (BigCo and a YC startup). We're probably not going to get rich or have a million-user product, but I wasn't ever chasing that anyways.
