1. Slot machine
You put in minutes of time combined with token costs. You pull the lever and HOPE something good comes back.
And it gets tantalizingly close, but for 100% gotta pull the arm again!
- shshsjsj 3mo agothat is way too accurate and ofc hn would downvote something funny and true.
- techgnosis 3mo agoit just seems off-topic. we see the slot machine analogy a lot but i dont see how it has anything to do with this long, thoughtful essay about pricing power
- nekusar 3mo agoPricing in the article is the difference between a $.25 slot machine with a range up to the $10 slot machine. Its always a probabilistic gamble that you get what you describe. And it's a pull of the lever each time. And you pay no matter what, for good or bad results. Its gambling. Either your time or time+money.
