Revenue? Profit? Who cares. Uber's valuation is at 40B and that's what really matters.

life's an adventure, man. that's why I call myself an Adventure Capitalist "flits effortlessly from one fad business with the life expectancy of a mayfly to the next, leaves burning ruins of western culture and economic systems in wake".

midnightclimax posted:Do they just grab random Facebook profile pics for the girlfriends? That would be funny. I feel like the whole "photos" part of the service is forgetting it's gonna start looking weird when you have a bunch of photos of your "girlfriend", but no photos of you with your "girlfriend". And then people are gonna start thinking you took all these pictures with a telephoto lens and have hardcopies set up in a shrine in your basement somewhere. Because face it, if you're using that service, you're probably the type of person who would do that.

seems like a decent service for people who get tired of their aunts asking them why they aren't married yet at other peoples' weddings and christmas parties and such, but it's not like you can't just lie and be like "oh yeah I'm dating this guy but he had to save some people from dying today because he is a heart surgeon" already
