I am amazed that contrary to most opinions series funding is imperative.

If you have a modicum of success doing something right, your first priority is do more of what you are doing right and try to create value for users that makes any move towards a business model acceptable to your core audience.

Look st Netflix. They screwed up but had built such overwhelming value in the minds of subscribers they just went back to what they do best and they are creating success once again.
