Why don't you "motivate" frequent users to start paying? ex. by making the free version (gradually) worse until you see revenue. ex. - non pro user pastebins

Why don't you "motivate" frequent users to start paying?
ex. by making the free version (gradually) worse until you see revenue.
ex.
- non pro user pastebins last 5mins, 5 views etc
- non pro users can post 1 pastebin per day (cookies, IP)
- non pro user pastebins are max x characters long.
- you get the idea
- there are clever people on this forum who will come up with good ideas to help you out.
- do everything BUT show ads, PLEASE. Internet's sole purpose is almost all that already.
- tobr 11y agoYou're confusing pastebin.com with jsbin.com. None of those restrictions wouldn't really make much sense for JS Bin I think.
- paulus_magnus 11y agoNone of those ... Hope you got my point. The above are only meant as an example. Main idea is to cripple* the free tier enough to push a chunk of current users from free into pro. Some will leave but you don't want them anyway (they will never pay). * how exactly cripple? This is the product design / product-market-fit stage work that was skipped when building jsbin.com
