not likely, subscriptions are very mature on YouTube and still only make up a tiny percentage of revenue. MKBHD did a good video breaking this down across other social networks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1qsF0WQy8c

Are you thinking for digital products like a PDF or purely for membership access?
When you create a billing attempt against a subscription, it creates a Shopify order that is tied to that subscription. You could definitely have the order be tied to a digital product.
While you could definitely make it work for a membership system, I think I'd recommend literally anything else. Happy to elaborate or answer any specific questions you might have.
We just built our own subscriptions on the Subscription API and it is extremely thin. Just a few gripes that I had to build around:
1. The "SubscriptionContract" isn't much of a contract at all. You can set a subscription to cancelled but still bill against it for example.
2. It keeps track of a "next billing date" but it does not bill the customer for you like Stripe does, you have to keep track of the next billing date and attempt to bill against the contract yourself.
Read his comment again. They are supporting the free plans with Github Enterprise.
> We've wanted to make this change for the last 18 months, but needed our Enterprise business to be big enough to enable the free use of GitHub by the rest of the world. I'm happy to say that it's grown dramatically in the last year, and so we're able to make GitHub free for teams that don't need Enterprise features.
Definitely. With such an economic contraction, you're going to see companies hiring contractors for a while because they don't have to commit to the full overhead of an employee. We saw a huge influx of freelancers in 2008-2009 and as the economy grew pre-covid19, more and more freelancers took jobs at companies because of salaries, benefits, etc. We will very likely see a repeat of that.
Things to make sure of: make sure your rates take into account your overhead. You're going to have to pay for your own insurance, pay withholding taxes, business licenses, account for some time off/sick days, etc.
After years of freelancing, attempting to set aside money for taxes and never paying into retirement, I started using an app called https://www.catch.co/ to track all of this and it allowed me to focus more on freelancing and less on the overhead.
I've tried YNAB and use Mint alongside Lunch Money and I'm super sold. I started using it when she first launched on HN and have been in love with it so far because it's super speedy and not as manual as YNAB. The way she handles recurring expenses is what made it for me. I set a task in my todo app to reconcile my transactions every day (usually only happens every week).
WeWork has a "Powered by We" service that companies like Amazon use so they don't have to manage a new building. They allow WeWork to deal with everything from top to bottom. https://www.poweredbywe.com/
That's the biggest issue with their growth right now. Salesforce has done a great job in marketing that it can "do anything"... provided you can build it yourself and get around all the developer platform limitations. I used to do Salesforce consulting and custom development, won their hackathon in 2009, worked with many companies on internal tools and apps and am so happy to be out of that game now.
Apple also received/is receiving additional incentives [1] for their new iCloud data centers which are being built near where Tesla is planning to put the gigafactory (the plot of land is already graded for the factory).
For those interested, Katie Fehrenbacher from Gigaom did some great coverage last month of what is happening out here RE: Tesla and Apple.[2]
I use the Sony MDR-7506 which are rated as the best $150 Over Ear Headphones (actually $90ish on Amazon) and they are very popular with audio pros. Not noise canceling but they are comfortable enough for wearing all day and if you're listening to something, you don't have sound leaking in or out.
Here is a code snippet that does the opposite of what you want. To achieve what you are looking for, just change the conditions around to mark the email messages as you desire.*
This one will mark any received emails that you have not responded with an "AwaitingReply" label.
As I mention in my Gist comment, I used this a lot to make sure we didn't have any emails slipping through the cracks.
* I know you're volunteering first month "payment" but since I came across this somewhere on the web and can't find the original source (I'll keep looking), here it is. Hopefully it will help you or someone else.
Don't create more work for yourself. If the site is running well on WP-Engine and the cost is bearable, it sounds like time is the limiting factor.
You have been doing this because it is something you love, I think it might be time to find a small community of other people who also love the topic area and get them to contributors! A friend of mine runs a news/blog type site (The New Artemis) and she accepts submissions, reviews for gear, etc. She currently does most of the work but has a plan for bringing in new folks who are also obsessed EDC/survivalist fans to create and edit content.
