Was (consumer) software ever perceived as that valuable, though? Most everyone I know is completely unwilling to buy an app or subscription. Even some technical people I know just refuse to spend money on software or services. It's not something I understand or agree with, just something I've noticed. It may be a more regional thing, too, here in the rural southeast.
- chrisp_dc 9y agoI don't think consumer software has been that valuable in my lifetime. MS Office, & Turbo Tax are killer apps that people pay for. People willingly pay for online games too. Other than that? I guess some people buy apps. I don't think it's regional. I've never bought an app. I paid for some dev tools, but that's it. Selling productivity outside of people's work is an uphill battle.
