Thats a pretty blind way to look at this. A shopping site launching in 2000 had a fixed potential audience of X and a MAXIMUM revenue of Y.

A shopping site launching today has more than 10x the audience. If you want to discount that, go ahead.

Even 10x is a finite number. Growth is not unlimited it never was and never will be. That is the point I was trying to make.
