> first major consumer tech brand to launch since Facebook

from my recollection, post-FB $75B+ market cap consumer tech companies (excluding financial ones like Robinhood and Coinbase) include:

Uber, Airbnb, Doordash, Spotify (all also have ~$1bn+ monthly revenue run rate)

Fair comment, I will not fight you on it.

I propose oAI is the first one likely to enter the ranks of Apple, Google, Facebook, though. But it's just a proposal. FWIW they are already 3x Uber's MAU.

They aren’t making money so they haven’t entered any rank. They have users and revenue but cannot last at current setup. Ticking time bomb

Spotify goes back and forth from barely profitable to losing money every quarter. They have to give 70% of their revenue to the record labels and that doesn’t count operating expenses.

As Jobs said about Dropbox, music streaming is a feature not a product

I listed multiple candidates so disputing one wouldn't dispute my main point ;)

Hyperbole to say no major consumer tech brands have launched for decades

I would be shocked if OpenAI was not in a similar (or worse) position.
