- rwmj 5y agoIs it sustainable long term if it drifts along without either making much money or attracting much audience?
- bsder 5y ago> Is it sustainable long term if it drifts along without either making much money or attracting much audience? Erm, aren't those exactly opposed? "Drift along" as long as you are profitable is the definition of sustainable, no? "Attracting too much audience" is anathema to sustainable if you can't maintain reliability or profitability in the face of the flood.
- rwmj 5y agoI maybe didn't phrase it well, but I'm talking about companies that make just enough money to sustain themselves but never quite grow nor go out of business. (I founded one and it wasn't very much fun. We eventually killed it, but it was never unprofitable). Anyhow it seems like floatplane hasn't made much of an impact - it's not huge like Youtube or growing massively - so does it have long term prospects?
- bsder 5y agoI don't see pricing on Floatplane. Lack of pricing is a non-starter.

The amount you charge is up to you, though they only list the minimum once you have an account.
