Fair point. I meant “finished enough to be used,” not “done forever.” The question is whether even that threshold still matters.

That makes sense. It feels less like paying for coverage and more like paying for the machinery around it. Once that’s the case, it barely matters whether something is finished or not. What matters is whether there’s a budget and a push beh

Good reference. “The Submarine” assumes visibility can come later. What I’m unsure about today is whether later still exists — or if coordinated amplification is now the price of entry.

That’s a great framing “the intensity of indifference” really resonates. What I’m struggling with is less the idea that hustle is required and more the scale of it. When even a finished product requires a ream of paper, 10 variants, repeat

Agreed — and that’s exactly what I’m trying to understand. What surprised me wasn’t that PR matters, but that shipping a finished product seems to carry almost no signal by itself anymore. At that point it stops being about communication sk

I agree that this model has a lot going for it. What it does really well is set expectations upfront: you’re buying a version and a defined update window, not an open-ended promise. Where I think many products stumble is skipping that cla

That example actually highlights something important: it’s not just a technical pricing choice, it’s a perception thing. When users feel like they were nudged into a subscription in a way that feels deceptive , that’s what really dents t

That approach makes a lot of sense to me. Adding new value and asking people to pay for more feels fundamentally different from taking something away and asking them to pay to get it back. The moment users feel something was removed, the

This matches my intuition almost exactly. Especially the distinction between: paying once to own a version vs paying for an ongoing service. I think a lot of conflict comes from companies blurring that line after users have already built
