No innovation got them where they were

No they didn't. They failed to capitalize on existing ideas and past ideas.

lupinglade | karma 525 | avg karma 2.31 · | 2020-10-23 14:55:22+00:00

To be fair, they were never good at it.

wmf | karma 46152 | avg karma 2.46 · | 2010-01-28 05:22:09+00:00

I agree that they never got there, but they were trying.

zackbloom | karma 3638 | avg karma 5.61 · | 2018-05-23 19:05:40+00:00

They tried, they just weren't successful.

tacostakohashi | karma 2448 | avg karma 3.15 · | 2016-09-28 16:49:15+00:00

They did. They just weren't as good at that as everybody else.

goto11 | karma 5786 | avg karma 2.51 · | 2019-09-10 10:47:24

They didn't really achieve that either.

civilized | karma 13120 | avg karma 4.02 · | 2023-04-09 19:35:26

They weren't uniquely talented.

technol0gic | karma 28 | avg karma 1.47 · | 2024-04-24 11:33:58

But they were though, they just weren't good at it yet

far33d | karma 2700 | avg karma 2.46 · | 2007-03-30 12:43:02

Guess they failed at that.

smackmybishop | karma 89 | avg karma 1.89 · | 2013-03-13 02:52:42+00:00

Neither had they when they started.

wffurr | karma 5977 | avg karma 3.16 · | 2018-06-26 14:33:31+00:00

They overprovisioned, and never actually got close to that in practice.

kevin_thibedeau | karma 19088 | avg karma 2.16 · | 2023-01-10 20:18:14

Then they didn't deserve to succeed.

reagency | karma 457 | avg karma 1.12 · | 2015-06-05 16:41:37+00:00

They also had the idea and didn't act on it. Or tried and failed early.

bowsamic | karma 2042 | avg karma 0.87 · | 2022-09-29 00:35:14

Imo they simply thought that no one was going to be able to compete with them

bombolo | karma 934 | avg karma 0.72 · | 2022-11-04 20:31:48

They didn't succeed, it seems.

EGreg | karma 7296 | avg karma 0.72 · | 2016-04-07 04:49:03+00:00

Sadly, they didn't achieve the dream.

nuclear_eclipse | karma 4295 | avg karma 3.53 · | 2019-10-26 20:16:55+00:00

They did that, and it wasn't successful.

rossdavidh | karma 19091 | avg karma 4.77 · | 2023-08-31 12:11:52

They kept pushing it, but never seemed to get any traction.

meh8881 | karma 183 | avg karma 1.76 · | 2023-05-01 15:08:53

They didn’t really go anywhere.
