I've always thought of Amazon as this last dinosaur of a by gone era. The days where you can have a really big vision, where if you work a spreadsheet a bit here and there you suddenly have massive amounts of profit. We just need to wait for the world to finished being disrupted. If you disagree with the vision, then you "just don't understand". Most of these business failed, but Amazon found just enough profits sitting somewhere that they have managed to keep on living... So they are in this unique position where they are allowed to invest, and grow to unfathomable heights (well theoretically) because its a survivor bias of the investors.
