Gaining market share is easy; maintaining it is the real test of skill. Over the past two years, many projects have made this mistake—rapid growth in the early stages, but once the growth slows down, they start to falter. Updates and iterations fall behind, user experience declines, and competitors take advantage of the situation. So I want to see how these leading players will respond—whether they can stabilize quality on the basis of volume, or fall into a vicious cycle of stagnation. This is the true test of operational capability.

Growth does not equal a moat; many projects have skipped this trap. What truly matters is the iteration speed and technological reserves. How is this reflected in the data?

Well said. It's really about who can endure the bottleneck period without falling behind. Right now, a lot of projects are stuck here.

To be honest, looking at these projects now is like watching a play; they hype it up at the beginning, but later all their true colors are exposed. Holding the position is indeed much harder than rushing in.

actually, the churn rate post-hockey stick growth is statistically significant... most projects just have zero retention mechanics. theoretically speaking, they're optimizing for vanity metrics instead of risk-adjusted user lifetime value. given historical data, this ends 60% of the time in complete collapse.
