Would you want it if it were free?
- dinkumthinkum 17y agoThis stuff send like useless navel gazing to me. So, the future is just a massive increase in advertising? Wow, that's innovative. Also, who is going to be able to afford to advertise without revenue? Are advertisers going to advertise their advertising? Is the future of the Internet going to be a meta-circular vortex of nothingness?
- greendestiny 17y agoActually I think this guys way analyzing a business sounds pretty good to me. Forget the price, do you want to wake up running this business (or doing this idea etc) tomorrow after the deal is done. Not sure if it had anything to do with 'free' even though he tried to tie it in.
- DTrejo 17y agoThe same reasoning works well when considering whether you'd like to sign up for a service. If I'm going to have to spend hours on the phone with machines and inept customer-service people, do I really want this service? Or, at the very least, do I want to patronize this company?
- dinkumthinkum 17y agoI don't know; that sort of seems cliché to me. It also seems like something that sounds profound but isn't. I've never really found myself trying to buy something I wouldn't get if it was free.
- oldgregg 17y agoI think this makes sense. I spent almost a year working on a startup because it was novel technology, easy money and good market timing. I never really stopped to think about the fact that I didn't even like the service. What a waste of time.
