Twitter is currently profitable, and has been since sometime in 2018.

To your bigger point, I actually think nowadays we're finally seeing fewer "me too" type companies--fewer knockoff social companies (early 2010s), fewer "Uber/Airbnb for X" companies (mid-2010s), fewer hot air crypto companies (late 2010s), etc. Granted I'm seeing a proliferation of "AI" companies so that isn't to say that hype is dead, but I'm hoping we'll see something new and innovative over the next few years.

Everyone and their brother is still trying to start their own scooter share.

With companies like scooter shares or Groupon, where expansion requires physical presence and manpower, there is actually a decent chance of success, assuming there is a 800lbs gorilla or two that is funded and clamoring for growth.

Quite a few smaller, regional Groupon clones were able to sell to either Groupon or living social for very hefty sums when the gold rush was still on.
