I echo the sentiment and think there's misalignment between the value and the monetization strategy for many apps. I wrote about it as well https://arielmichae

I wrote about it as well https://arielmichaeli.com/my-thoughts-on-vespers-unfortunate-end-6a8d13977a72 https://arielmichaeli.com/my-thoughts-on-vespers-unfortunate... Ultimately a lot of the sadness comes from what looks like missed opportunity IMO, which is really tough to predict.

Reading your comment, I now wonder if there's a way to sell (formally transfer) these indie projects. Like how patio11 sold BingoCardMaker thru a broker. Then someone like you could take a swing with a different business model. Maybe a few dollars upfront and a tiered royalty model, to minimize risk for both sides.

  I've seen a few platforms attempt to become brokers for such deals in the past but to my knowledge none were incredibly (or, at all) successful... But I do agree that it's a possible "exit" strategy.
