[1] I have no complaints about interesting, relevant ads that don't get in the way.
- steveklabnik 16y agoReally? I mean, I guess I've never purchased a Hacker Monthly, either, but $10 seems pretty standard for a magazine. Then again, I'm going by the cover price of something like a video game magazine, the only ones I've ever really bought. I don't think it's too exorbitant.
- edanm 16y agoThe problem is, it's marketed almost exclusively to people who have no problem getting the same articles for free. Not that I have a problem with them charging whatever they like - I'm just saying, I would hesitate to pay so much for something that is so easily accessible for free.
- nkassis 16y agoActually I think $10 is on the upper range of magazine prices I've seen. Most video game magazine get away with charging that because they also include a CD (worthless but whatever). Other than that, I rarely see magazines above $8, most of them are in the $6 range. If you subscribe you usually get 70% off that too. This is my personal experience. You guys gotta make enough to cover expenses and time so charge what you need.
- templaedhel 16y agoYou could give yc startups a discount.
- bearwithclaws 16y agoWe did (and we are doing it now).
- ammmir 16y agowhy not give discounts to all startups that fit some criteria, not just the lucky ones that are part of yc and most likely funded anyway.
