Honestly, I don't see how they aren't in trouble yet. With how long GoDaddy has been around, and how dominant they are in terms of "casual" domain owners, it blew me away when I saw that they have yet to be profitable a single year.


However Amazon isn't profitable either -- never has been.


True, however Amazon has been constantly investing in new warehouses, infrastructure, adding new products, expanding their current offerings, etc.

I can't think of a single unique or new thing GoDaddy has done in the past 10 years.


They do have lots of fancy ads.


A lot of sexist ads as well.


Who the hell cares? Instead of "posting profits", Amazon reinvests its massive EBITDA into itself, and has shown continuous growth because of it.

Not focusing on shareholders sounds great to me.


False. Amazon had positive net income in 2011 and 2013 of $631 and $274 million respectively.


Asset increase yoy is pretty ridiculous.
