Also keep in mind that DHH suggested building a product for a business, not consumers. Consumers are used to free, but businesses are more than willing to pay.

Also keep in mind that DHH suggested building a product for a business, not consumers. Consumers are used to free, but businesses are more than willing to pay. In fact, a price tag is a way for businesses to justify their corporate use of the product. I'm constantly surprised when I see companies paying for a service that I get for free (Any premium chat/voice Vs. Gtalk). The thing is, businesses don't like to spend time looking into the best and most cost effective way to solve a problem - they like to throw money at it and make it go away. DHH suggests being that person who makes it go away.
