profitability is not that important if revenues are still growing significantly
when growth slows down and they feel they've exhausted all potential avenues for a quick buck, then they'll make cuts to become profitable. this is how businesses work.
you don't worry about making a $2m profit on a $20m revenue. you grow the revenue to $500m and then cut 10% of expenditure to make a $50m profit.
