    An investment firm executive will have zero clue about what the hell a spez is, why that’s relevant, what a third party app means, what an API is. If you attempted to start to explain that, they’d just start ignoring your voice as if it were some random noise.

    They’ll check the company valuation, their traffic, how much they charge for ads, where they’re located, and will invest or not based on that.

        The content matters.

        The 1% of power users complaining about executive decisions that improve profitability doesn’t even come close to mattering.
