ARPU isn't a great metric here since it's revenue averaged across all users. In my experience, the vast majority of free software users sit below ARPU and are hoisted up by whales -- who are also the main reason one-off pricing

I would wager most people that offer to buy software "one off" typically underestimate their lifetime worth earned through other means like ads and data sales. Would you pay a one-time $10 for a lifetime Firefox license? $100? $1,

I'd argue that quality actually makes it an amazing show to binge. It wouldn't "work" in the current climate of one-episode-per-week with bountiful time to analyze and Internet sleuths/theorists often coming up with

What is the search bar for (that populates with other cities)? I tried both SF and Seattle and both just move the map ~50 miles away from NYC. Does this only visualize NYC, or does it also work elsewhere?
