A free-of-charge tool...
The amount of seemingly acceptable market-distorting behavior we've all grown into is quite baffling to me.
I wonder if Philipp Morris could have offered free office space to companies in the 80s with access being restricted to smokers only...
- Longhanks 4y agoThis is a free app, easily removable, not invasive in any way, no ads, no personal data misuse, no tracking, not shoved in your face, not replacing any other apps, not disabling anything else, no strings attached. You must be very cynical to see this as "market distortion".
- rickdeckard 4y agoIt's market distortion because it competes with companies who charge a fee for maintaining and developing their application, by entering their market entirely cross-financed from a immensely profitable product of a completely different industry. If it's NOT market distortion, it means it is possible to create and operate a cloud-based multi-platform collaboration application, free of charge for corporate and private use, without the need of any direct revenue stream within that market. I'm not even talking profit, I mean no need for any revenue whatsoever.
