You're right about honesty. It's in the interest of both to be honest and do a good job. That wasn't a necessary segue. It's that specifying the meaning of a "good job" is much more difficult when it comes to a

That's the thing. That's exactly me. BUT they still keep doing it. Which means that they've data to back up what they are doing. Probably "exploiting" less savvy and/or privacy conscious users.

In general, when in-house capability doesn't exist, things are outsourced. But I don't think that comparison is entirely equivalent. I think for software it's easier to specify requirements that more closely relate to goals.

And Substack. And Reddit has 10x their traffic.

Exactly. The lurkers are where their growth is because they likely outnumber posters 10:1.

So non-techy non-privacy conscious people do which is what they're looking to accomplish. That's it'd be interesting in looking at their data.

Honestly, paying for API might be a better monetization strategy then just actively shitting on their users.

I used to do that as well, but I really don't want to use them at all.

That's a very good characterization.

That's one of the things I suggest. Copy Patreon. They've shown that users are willing to pay for "user generated content"

I pay for several things that make me money. If Reddit added features that let their users make money they'd be able to charge for them.

They've never tried generating revenue from other meaningful features. A marketplace would have a very real value for users. And it would create a much better moat.

Users pay for marketplace features for anything from handmade bird houses to used underwear.

Why must every app monetize through ads? Why can't they provide features worth paying for?

The main issue with hiring an agency to do marketing is that your incentives are not aligned. They almost always charge based on your marketing spend. Which means it's in their interest to make you spend as much as possible. They are o

The amount of noise on this website if you're not using an ad blocker is just incredible.

I think it would be wise to slightly change the design so as not to look so similar to Companies House.

Every time a thread like this pops up that gains attention I wonder how many other customers are in the same spot but haven't had the same exposure so their issues remain unresolved.

Possibly not as interesting for you personally but I would guess that this concept would work very well for Qur'an and the Hadith. Potentially even more so since verses often require additional historical context besides the interpret
