Kyle Poyar [1] has a great article [2] on why usage-based (i.e. having that monthly payment change with usage) is more optimal (and arguably more fair). In some deeper sense though, I commiserate with your point on technology being alienating through its strive to over-optimize everything. Except, I think much of this friction will inevitably have to be solved by further application of technology itself -- it's always a double edged sword.. In our case, as Abel explained, one of the things we're trying to solve are very apparent international mispricings. Growing up in post-communist E Europe in the 90s I remember buying pirated games from street vendors. An unawareness of international pricing can easily price out many a potential client! :) [1]: https://twitter.com/poyark https://twitter.com/poyark [2]: https://techcrunch.com/2021/01/29/subscription-based-pricing-is-dead-smart-saas-companies-are-shifting-to-usage-based-models/ https://techcrunch.com/2021/01/29/subscription-based-pricing...
