Wow, thanks a lot for taking the time to write such a well thought reply.
I would see no faults with your argument for freemium, if this was a service aimed at the Consumer. If it was, you'd be 100% right.
As it stands, thought, with threddie being geared towards small companies rather than individuals, I think it may be worthwhile to experiment in customer selection. I know a few people who run small businesses, and they seem to prefer to go straight to the 30-day trial of an app, rather than endure the limits of a free version. Maybe for those kinds of customers, a half-assed freebie is actually a turn-off. Who knows? I need to find out.
As for the feedback issue, normally I would agree with you. It should be easy to decide which feedback to listen to and which to discard. But, being a bootstrapped single founder who has to juggle a day time job, a social and romantic life, plus a startup and a couple side-side-projects, judgement can become quite clouded sometimes.
More than once, I found myself getting all worked up about stuff suggested by free users, only to realize (much later) that it went against my objectives and was a big waste of time. Leaving those voices out of my head will definitely help me focus.
We'll see how it goes.
Cheers!
