How mission driven teams at FAANG build $1Tn+ market cap:

1. Product teams create utility at ~zero marginal cost per additional user

2. Platform teams drive distribution

3. Monetization teams convert utility to cash

4. GOTO 1

- Facebook: Yeah more or less that

- Apple: far from zero marginal cost per additional user

- Amazon: far from zero marginal cost per additional user

- Netflix : More or less works, if driven by the content they create. But not a product

- Google: Has monopoly on Ads search, all others projects bring close to nothing

Except Facebook, I don't see how 'zero marginal cost per additional user'-products have any impact of the revenue these company make

How it really works, even (especially) at FAANG:

1. Get one thing right.

2. Sit back and make my monies.

Never heard it put so succinctly. This should be higher up.
