Free. People want it for free. Not free as in speech, but free as in beer.
History has shown that the vast majority of people will trade their entire personal data set if they can get fake internet points for free.
- ramijames 5y agoABSOLUTELY. Accounts and transactions are free on our network. We think eventually all networks will have to go this route. Paying per-transaction is mind-bogglingly anti-user.
- haswell 5y agoSure, people want things for free, but that is orthogonal to the simplicity angle. Something can be free, but won’t see use if it sucks badly. People spend $$$ on Apple products because of the “just works” reputation. I’m not saying people want to pay for services, but I think it’s important to distinguish UX vs. cost when examining what motivates people.
