This is absurd. Can someone explain to me why DoorDash exists? They're #1 in share, but I get the impression that they basically bought their spot.

Grubhub has been operating in the space forever, is public, and generally had been profitable until VCs came to town. How is DoorDash doing anything than Grubhub? Wouldn't this capital do better in other investments?

From the outside it seems like they've duped investors into burning hundreds of millions of dollars to hopefully build a monopoly in a structurally iffy market.
