I find it interesting to see the reaction of HN crowds.
Services like this is common in 3rd-world country: they charge you for a very small monthly fee to connect to a select web services as opposed to the "all of the internet".
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Watsapp, BBM + E-mail only.
The services might grow or reduce depending on the popularity of the web services.
- wmf 12y agoIt goes without saying that the HN audience of startup founders who want to "disrupt" Instagram/WhatsApp/BBM/etc. are opposed to this.
- Guvante 12y agoNothing to do with diruption. The sites I browse most frequently (by an order of magnitude) are HN and Reddit. Neither of these are useful on such a plan, since the entire purpose is linking the internet at large. However if such plans become popular, we could potentially lose (or pay lots to preserve) the ability to frequent such sites.
