MoviePass正在花钱建立用户群，但这并不是唯一的
MoviePass is losing money on basically every customer. Should you care?
MoviePass几乎在每位客户上都在赔钱。 你应该在乎吗？
The movie subscription service costs $9.95 a month, and lets you watch one movie in the theater every day. The problem here is obvious: two movie tickets are enough for MoviePass to lose money, and that’s before the cost of actually running the service.
电影订阅服务每月收费9.95美元，可让您每天在剧院观看一部电影。 这里的问题很明显：两张电影票足以让MoviePass赔钱，而且这还不包括实际运行该服务的费用。
YouTuber Evan Puschak outlined this bizarre situation in a video last week, and it’s well worth viewing:
YouTuber Evan Puschak在上周的视频中概述了这种奇怪的情况，值得一看：
MoviePass’ strategy, such as it is, is to grow a massive userbase with low prices, then find a way to make money later. If that seems stupid to you I’ve got some bad news: the modern web is basically built on this strategy.
MoviePass的策略就是这样，以低廉的价格发展庞大的用户群，然后找到一种赚钱的方法。 如果您觉得这很愚蠢，那么我有个坏消息：现代网络基本上是基于此策略构建的。
Sure: most sites aren’t charging $10 a month for nearly unlimited movie tickets. But plenty of services—including Trello, Dropbox, and Evernote— offer limited free versions that lose money in the hopes of finding a profitable group of users later.
当然：大多数网站都不会对几乎无限的电影票收取每月10美元的费用。 但是，包括Trello，Dropbox和Evernote在内的许多服务都提供有限的免费版本，这些版本会蒙受损失，以期以后能找到可盈利的用户群体。
Plenty of companies are burning money; MoviePass is just doing it faster. I’m not saying you shouldn’t use such services, but it’s worth thinking about—especially if you’d like the services you use to keep running.
许多公司都在烧钱； MoviePass的速度更快。 我并不是说您不应该使用此类服务，但值得考虑的是-尤其是如果您希望使用用于继续运行的服务。
