That means plumbers don't care about plumbing news, including your app. You have no right to disrespect their choice by spamming them anyway.
In a world without ads, not subscribing to plumbing news would be a weird choice anyway. Refusing to learn about new ways to increase productivity – like your app – means giving your competition an advantage.
> It cost you years of your time and lots of money to make this great app, and you need a lot of plumbers to buy it to afford to continue working on it.
Society does not owe you customers.
- cm2012 7y agoNot subscribing to plumbing magaxines just means the signal to noise ratio in them is bad. For the value part: What if plumbers use Facebook (which they do) and when they see your FB ad, they buy your product. Wouldnt that indicate they do care about your app?
- anoncake 7y agoIf plumbers aren't satisfied with the signal to noise ratio of magazines they don't want to see ads either.
- cm2012 7y agoThey still use FB even though they see ads there. And then convert when they see the Plumbing ad.
- anoncake 7y agoSo? Maybe some ends justify the means. Selling an app isn't such an end. Is being able to sell your stuff all you care about? Because that's the impression I'm getting. I'd summarize our discussion like this (exaggerating for effect): > Ads damage democracy, make everyone unhappy, they're a huge drain on our economy and can be replaced by better methods of distributing information. > But I get to sell a plumbing app.
- cm2012 7y agoI would completely disagree with your summary of our discussion.
