Revenue is just one metric among many others like net income, debt, free cash flow…

You can have massive more revenues than your competitors but if you lose a lot of money it’s still not a good business.

oh wow, you have blown my mind with your incisive financial analysis

You know there is no need to be rude out of nowhere. From your own "incisive financial analysis" you showed me that you don't know how to evaluate the market cap of a company. There is not even anything related to DCF analysis in what you said which is basic, but just revenues and headcounts... And all this is fine I am not assuming (like you) that everybody here on HN should know these things. But unless like you I am not here to be rude and show off about stuff I don't know about, but to help people and to give a few clues about the subject if they want to dig deeper.

I think all this makes HN a whole better place...
