Some folks run businesses that succeed, other ran (past tense) start-ups that failed.

Unfortunately, the lasting affect will be a net positive, because sometimes you have to just be the adult and say loosing money isn't an option. I would like to call this shedding the college weight, and firing 80% of the work force, because the business will die otherwise in the case of Twitter.

Would you rather run a business with much higher ROI with a small user base and run a lean business, or a fat business with super scale data but bleeding out money? I'm not sure I get the argument against this.

There’s an element of critical mass involved - a streaming platform can only afford to create so much of their own content if they have the revenue to back up those costs. Less users means less revenue means less content, and at some point things might break down.
