There were plenty of people paying the $29 price. And not one of them chose to pay $27 instead. I would have expected maybe half to do so. Maybe 20%. But none?

- ristretto 15y agoFounders (your audience) may be extremely wary about their "social media" image, and reluctant to advertise other businesses in the same space. Plus the value of finding a good co-founder greatly exceeds $29. Not to mention that many are selfish pricks like me and dont follow the "average person"'s behaviour. The fact that you got this to the frontpage of HN is far better than a few tweets. On second thought, your $2 discount is very small too. Maybe if you discounted 50% it would work.
- janfoeh 15y agoI wouldn't have either, not even if you gave the product away for free in return. To me, spamming people that chose to listen to me on whatever site or medium seems like an egregious violation of trust. If I link to or recommend something, I want that to be meaningful. I'll do it gladly if I like your product, but not because you've bought me for a couple cents.
