>How can I invest time and money in using a product if I'm afraid the founder will bail after a few months? I'm sorry to say this, but this just shows lack of empathy. You're looking at your belly-button, because you're a particular type of user that's aware of product/company life-cycles/spams... very few people are thinking about the problem of a founder bailing out after a few months when they're subscribing to something. Plus if you're so afraid of that when you're looking to use the product, then it must be a really good product and most likely the founder knows he is onto something. In that scenario the most probable outcome would be the founder selling to someone else, or stop updating, then people just naturally migrate to something else.
