In a simple 2x2x2 matrix of
* product aimed at specific audience / general audience
* product is "one big idea" / a lot of little ideas
* product requires long term engagement / short term engagement
Only "specific audience" / "one big idea" / "long term engagement" can expect to - indeed, must - thrive on patronage.
The 7 other boxes are beholden to their users' fickleness.

- kthejoker2 6y agoTrue! :) I guess if your idea is "big" enough to attract an audience approaching the entire human civilization, you can survive short-term engagement :)-
