If I subscribe to something for a month, and then feel compelled to use it that month instead of some better tool because I paid for it, I would say that's a sunken cost.
A time limited one, but still there.
- zepto 6y agoTechnically true, but seems like an exotic case, and proves the point that sunk cost isn’t a substantial issue here.
- Shared404 6y ago>Seems like an exotic case, I've worked with enough people who used adobe because "I've already payed for this month, so I have to use this" that I'm not sure it's that exotic. And while sunk cost may not be a huge issue, it's definitely still there. I'm not going to make any sort of comment on anything else in this thread, because I don't really know what I'm talking about. However, I don't see how it's possible for someone to derive more benefit from an app overall by paying a higher subscription. Your subscribers might correlate better with people who are benefiting, but for an individual, either they [Pay less and have the same amount of possible benefit] or [Pay more and have the same amount of possible benefit]. How does it work out that they get better value from the second option?
