Is this because digital payments are cumbersome, or are people really unwilling to drop 50 cents/mo on something they find valuable?
Imagine getting 3 months of Snap usage for free, and having the ability to make a 50 cent payment as easy as dropping two quarters in a tip jar. Would this still be a huge barrier to entry?
- selectodude 9y agoThere is not a chance in hell I would pay to put a photo on Snapchat, and I’m of their core demographic that can actually afford to.

- wpietri 9y agoThat's not really a winning value proposition. The first part won't resonate broadly; the bulk of America is perfectly comfortable seeing ads. And the second part raises a question they desperately don't want to raise: what are big companies doing with all that personal data?
