The venture capital samba:

  1. Make free service (it'll pan out, trust me bro).
  2. 1 years passes... trust me bro
  3. 3 years passes... look at all this user data we can sell - trust me bro
  4. 2 more year passes... look, we're going to have to fire some people...
  5. 1 year passes... we're not really making any money, so trust me bro - we're only going to increase subscription fees a little...
  6. 1 year later, increase subscription fees...
  7. 1 year later, increase subscription fees...
  8. 1 year later, increase subscription fees...
  9. Listen, Mr Creditor - I have liquidity. So much liquidity. I'm rife with the stuff... increase subscription fees

And so forth, and so on...
