No, it doesn't.

My point was that chasing deals like this is just kicking the can down the road. You're going to have to reckon with harsh price increases sooner or later.

So I have resolved to avoid that future-dreading and fixed it, basically.

My entire digital existence for the last 20 years or so has been a parasitical relationship with VC funding. They keep throwing money at business models that involve building market share and I keep benefiting. It hasn't stopped working yet.
