Distribution can be automated. But a system that runs on products it does not own learns nothing it keeps, and improves for someone else.
We build the roads and everything on them. Every application we launch makes the system better, and a better system makes the next one easier. That loop only exists when both sides are yours.
Today the system runs only on applications we own. Soon it will be open to everyone.
Products are built in weeks now and die in months, bound not by what they can do but by whether anyone wanted them in the first place. Every technology cycle produces companies built on something that did not exist three years ago.
Human desire predates software, it will outlast it, and it’s the only thing that transfers between categories.
