I'm really curious to see the winning business model for apps like this. Everyone is used to free web apps. No one wants to pay. And people have become more and more worried about ads (many people block them).
Is there a world where everyone pays a subscription fee to N different web/mobile/social apps? I'm skeptical.

There seems to be a world of people paying subscriptions to N different Substacks, and on a different scale, to N different streaming services. I doubt you are going to be Instagram big on this model, but I think you could build a pretty large business here, beyond just a lifestyle company.
- rchaud 5y agoI think that's the point of launching only with iOS. the App Store helps manage subscriptions, so theoretically there's less friction when it's time to ask the user to pay.
