Dalton isn't incorrect or lying when he suggests that users are getting tired. However, the core question for his business is at what rate are users getting tired? And is the rate accelerating? So far, I don't see this nuanced conversation and yet, the entire App.net argument hinges upon it.
- w1ntermute 14y agoI'm not saying that he's incorrect or lying, I'm just saying that he sounds a tad pretentious every time he makes one of those posts. > the core question for his business is at what rate are users getting tired? Right, and tired enough to pay $5 for a one-month subscription to App.net. And the fact that App.net offers only Stripe for payment doesn't help things. Neither does the branding problem that App.net has - for the average person, it's difficult to understand what exactly it does. It's more powerful to have a social networking platform than a specific site, for sure, and I immediately appreciated its value when I heard about it. But I don't think most of my non-tech savvy friends could or would.
- zaidf 14y agoYou nailed it. tired enough to pay probably matters more than even the rate of getting tired.
