    That is still explicitly a risk that they are taking. That risk doesn’t conflate to bravery, innovation, or a good idea. It is still a risk they take because either their new service flops and they write it off, or their new service makes crazy amounts of money.

      Producing literally any product whatsoever is a risk, the term becomes meaningless when used in the way that you are using it.

        I am just going to have to disagree with you, conflating the idea of risk with the things you’re associating it is not appropriate in my eyes. But we can leave it there at this point.

          Producing any product is a risk that’s a fact lmfao you have got to be kidding me here.

          It’s absolutely appropriate to discuss risk in business as a divergence from the standard. Also a fact.
