It applies to everyone. Not just mechanical turk folks. When someone says they 'will use' your product they are non-committal. (I have done this so many times for the fear of offending the person who is asking me). When its time to take out their credit cards then they backtrack. They are 2 different decision points. The later is what matters to startups.
- frossie 16y agoWhen its time to take out their credit cards then they backtrack And to be fair, even if I am trying to be super-honest, I find it very hard to decide whether I would be happy to whip out a credit card from a concept pitch. It's not just a question of "would I pay for A", it is a question of "would I pay for A it it really rang my bell", and I can't tell whether you are going to ring my bell or not until I have tried your product and your customer support philosophy. When I look at my credit card statement, I see a bunch of companies not just whose product I like and use, but also a bunch of folks for whom I can say "I like the way they do business". I didn't pay to cloud-store photos for over a decade, until I found smugmug. So what is the right answer to the question "would you pay to store photos"? This isn't the kind of nuance you would get from an MT survey I don't think.
