25 years is not forever.


Pedantic much?


And many “startups” exit by going public and last longer than 25 years.


How many "startups" grow to a comfortable level, run in a "mom and pop" reality, and just exist inside of a community for more than 5 minutes?

My comment was towards the tech community's propendancy to find value in selling anything and everything, rather, actually invest in a community or - gasp - exist for more than a few years. The "longest running" anything happens because someone locks the door to fleeting enterprise in favour of building an actual product where people work there for 5, 10 years. Imagine that.


And how many animated series grow to a comfortable “mom and pop” level and last longer than 25 years? Your comparison between the two is frankly baffling to me.


Easy one. My office literally has one above me called Pipeline Studios. It's not even the only one in my mid-sized city. Comparison is easily reachable. You just don't like it because it contradicts your bubble.
