It's strange and quite arguably hypocritical, but still correct. Millions of people pay markups for coffee and booze that are completely absurd every day. Very few people will pay a dollar or two for a app, even a well-made app that does something useful and saves them a pretty significant amount of time. There's a reason why so many are moving to ad-based or freemium revenue models in their apps.
- DigitalJack 9y agoYou get exactly what you expect and want from the cup of coffee. Apps, not so much.
- cyberferret 9y agoDo you though? What do you do when you get a take out cup that is too bitter or over/under sweetened? Do you wear it, or take it back? What happens when you get caught up talking to someone or distracted, and your $4 cup of coffee becomes cold and undrinkable? Or if someone nudges you and you spill some? Does the $ value ever factor into it, or is it just a 'throwaway' cost? In fact, does anyone ever stand at a urinal and think to themselves - "That is a $10 pee, given the coffees I bought this morning"?
