Agreed, he is an asshole and this is an unethical way to monetize
- l4yao 9y agoWhat about his monetization is unethical? Where is the moral conflict?
- Pharaoh2 9y agoWhat is he supposed to do? His initial reaction when he thought he was under attack was fine and the second reaction was immature and lacked empathy but he was likely facing an unexpected problem that he couldn't figure out how to handle but very soon got on the right track. Those servers and bandwidth aren't free. Bandwidth to tier three countries is actually more expensive. Advertising revenue is basically non-existent for tier three countries, conversion rates and LTV is super low, ltv for the group of user that are using his service for whatsapp will be in the range of 1-5 Rs, ~(1-8 cents). He will eventually have to block these countries again if he can't figure out a way to indirectly monetize these users. Or he will run out of money and the servers go down. The best thing for these users would be if he can figure out a way to make it sustainable, and that means to monetize these users.
