This post offers some informative insights. I am reminded to at least consider proactively filtering content, etc.
I thank the author for his contributions toward helping other startups.
With that said, this tastes a little sour to me. He is saying "other businesses should be doing what we did". With all do respect, what you did got you to where you are. He is saying his business was honest by not skewing user numbers and engagement. Which is also implying that if they did, they might have secured more investment, or raised their ad rates.
The problem with Sampa is that their target market has fundamentally low market value. Share family photos online?
Aren't there about 44340902342034 services offering something of the sort?
Lastly, I'm surprised to read that Sampa had an advertising based model. I guess that shines some light on why they chose the market that they did. I mistakenly assumed any website creation system would be SAAS. Perhaps if Sampa would have stuck with saas, they would have switched to a new, more lucrative target market.
