This is why I’ve never understood the idea of autographs. Why does him half assed signing his initials add value to the poster? What’s the value he’s adding here? I get an artist signing their 1/1 paintings, but this, no.

You don’t listen. You’re an ineffective leader. You can’t recruit great talent. You’re going to have to pay every athlete. You can’t measure sleep non-invasively. It’s too expensive to research. Athletes are a small market. The product costs too much to make. The product costs too much to sell. Your valuation is too high. Consumers aren’t going to want it. Hardware is too hard. You should measure steps. Fitbit is going to kill you. You can’t build a marketing engine. You can’t raise enough money. You need a real CEO. Google is going to kill you. You can’t be a subscription.

doing good science and research is building a world model

Screen Studio made the single pricing decision that guaranteed someone would clone them. In 2023, Screen Studio sold a one-time license for $89. Developers bought it, loved it, recommended it. The distribution loop worked because the purchase felt permanent. Then they switched to $29/month. $108/year on annual. The one-time option now costs $229, and even that only includes one year of updates before you start paying again. That pricing migration is what created the market for OpenScreen. The creator says it himself on the GitHub page: "If you need all the fancy features, your best bet is to support Screen Studio. But if you just want something free and open, this project does the job." That's the most polite disruption in software history. And it worked. 9,200 stars in a few months. Three forks already building on top of it (CursorLens, Recordly, OpenScreenPlus). A documentation site. A community forming around a project one developer built because a $89 tool became a $29/month tool. Loom made the same bet in the opposite direction. Atlassian acquired them, killed the Creator Lite free seats, started billing every user at $12.50 to $15/month. Teams that had 100 users with 10 active creators went from $240/year to thousands overnight. Every SaaS company doing the subscription migration right now is running the same calculation: recurring revenue looks better on the balance sheet, and switching costs are high enough that most users won't leave. What they're not pricing in is that AI just made the development cost of "good enough" alternatives collapse to near zero. The gap between "$29/month polished" and "free and 80% as good" used to take a funded startup to close. Now it takes one developer and a holiday weekend. Screen Studio is still the better product. The question is how long "better" justifies 348x the price.
