Yes, this is the inherent issue at play nowadays. Investors are throwing silly money at startups in an attempt at global domination. What then happens is that the start-ups rely on pricing at a loss to get the majority market share and absorbing the loss through their silly money funding. End result is that simple business models end up getting destroyed because the customers are now sensitive to any price hikes above the loss making prices. The funded company now has to pursue a mish mash of money making strategies to try and break even. It remains to be seen whether this strategy will work long term.
