This is typical enshittification. Make an impossibly good service to gain marketshare. Then make it worse once you've eliminated all competition and dominate the market.
You make it sound like the initial investments were sustainable
If their plan was to intentionally make unsustainable investments and then gut features later on, they should be shuttered now before they waste any more users time and money
Wdym?
Initial investments are usually excessively big to secure your position. The main focus isn't to balance the budget, but to have as many earnings and growth as possible to then get rid of the defficit
You are describing enshitification. You're missing the point.
Company enters market, disrupts it with money from investors, with featuresets that aren't profitable just to drive out the competition, kills the competition who have to pay for their features and pricings with an actual business, then raise prices and reduce features now you're the only one left.
See music streaming, food delivery, taxies, TV and movie streaming, now game subscriptions are gonna do the same thing. Discord is another example .
