$0.18 per user. For a product that was supposed to replace Hollywood. I've seen better unit economics at a lemonade stand. 💀
Slide 4 broke my brain. They had 11.7 MILLION downloads and made two million dollars. Where did all those users go??
The copyright issue on slide 5 was always going to be fatal. You can't build an IP licensing product while simultaneously refusing to license IP. This was inevitable.
Disney exits gracefully. OpenAI absorbs the loss quietly. Everyone moves on. Classic enterprise breakup. The real damage is to everyone who built workflows around Sora.
