Comment on Reddit: Return Of The Junk Stock IPO
Kinglink@lemmy.world 8 months agoI don’t know the right price point, but 1 dollar a month probably would have worked for most people. It just wasn’t enough because they probably can make more than 1 by spoon feeding you ads now.

I’d go as far as 5 dollars a month, which is more than the buck thirty they make off users right now.

It just boggles the mind. They had the userbase. They had the community moderation. They had the power-users basically doing their job for them. They could have had a bulletproof, tied-to-world-population-growth metric - not super fast, but basically monotonically increasing. They basically could have turned it into a sustainable money printer, while not crushing user enthusiasm.
Spez threw it away because he wanted the quick payout from ad revenue.

Spez threw it away because he’s a libertarian tool. He doesn’t care how he gets the payout as long as it’s not ‘collectivist’. This commie shit your’e spouting in this post would not impress daddy Elon. GTFO.

The fuck are you on about with that last half?

Active users would, I probably would too. Problem is most apps would struggle to even get new users with that system.
