A downside of a pure growth first, monetization second strategy.
- Alex3917 8y agoI mean this is as much bad behavior on the part of users as it is bad behavior on the part of publishers. Users flock to products that are super polished and have tons of celebrity users (both made possible by huge fundraises), but then flip out when they're asked for $5 a month to pay for the service they're getting.

No person would like it if all of a sudden they had to pay for something they were getting for free before. It's the business's job to charge a fair price upfront (or, at the very least, give the user some hint of its future plans so they're mentally prepared).
