It sounds like the author is complaining that some products aren't priced right for people who aren't willing to pay for them. If you don't have much money, you can't afford nice things. The 30 day free trial isn't broken just because you can't afford the end product.
That's like saying a free test drive on a Ferrari is broken because you can't afford it. You knew you couldn't afford it when you took the test drive. Would it be better if they never let you have the test drive simply because you couldn't afford it?
- hobs 13y agoI don't think he is complaining as much as saying you can get a greater conversion rate if you give the person more time, but limit based on usage when it is used effectively as a non-trial. A ferrari is too extreme of an example, because they are trying out a few services, potentially developing some business with that service. A better car analogy would be to let you drive around any cab of a truck to get the look and feel and how everything works at your own pace, and then when you want to hook up the trailer they start charging.

As an analogy you don't get to have a free Ice cream truck for a few months until you can get your ice cream business going and are dependent on it. You have to pay for it or get something cheaper you can afford such as a push bike ice cream cart. The ice cream truck company is not in the business of funding new ice cream companies hoping one day you'll be able to make it
