ST becoming open-source is one thing, making it freemium another. I was talking about the latter.
Does freemium really work at all for anyone? Gets you new users quickly but then 1 in 10,000 converts. This works for established companies as they can weather the freeloaders with piles of cash from other parts of the business. Or in the case of VC-backed companies, from the money fountain (better not ask Spotify about that though).
I just can't see how a small company depending on a single product would benefit from this model.
Try a grown-up instead. By which I mean, someone who has chosen to develop emotional intelligence.
Yes I can see the irony in what I'm saying. Thanks.
