Daring Fireball:

Dare Obasanjo, writing on Threads, retorted perfectly:

The idea that an app that is clearly an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) doesn’t have 100 million active users is a failure is the sort of addle brained thinking that the tech media has saddled us with.

This company is a success
This company is a failure
Look how much funding this company got

Arguably, “look how much funding this company got” stories are just variations on the first two, depending on the sum of the funding.
