@tmount I was told by so many people that shifting my flights alerts service from hobby (that cost me money) to a Premium & Free version would never work.🤷‍♂️ There are still people who seem almost offended by me charging for my work but that's life.

This is a curious experiment. Just in our small part of the world, I remember the mile & point folks that didn’t love @spencerformiles charging for his amazing (and worth the cost) premium award flight award alerts. The fact is, the people are the product, not the platform

@tmount @asthejoeflies Ugh, that was such a frustrating day. I remember commiserating about how we were both caught out by that devaluation.

For everyone frustrated about a no notice devaluation. I feel you. Anyone remember the no notice Emirates devaluation 5-8 years ago? @asthejoeflies

@saianel When I was a kid, I'd get confused looks when I talked about F1. Now, many people at least know what I mean, even if they're not F1 fans.

@rbphilip Yeah, I see people pay here and there but not often in the points space. I think it's why creators focus on affiliates, brand deals/sponsored content, and ads. Creates an odd dynamic in which creators try to earn a living - often without their audience realizing it.

I've had a lot of conversations with other points creators about earning a living recently. One thing that I keep hearing is how they're trying to find ways to get anyone other than their audience members to pay.

@spencerformiles Practically a Ryanair type model - and we know how all of us in this space feel about that! 😂

@runwithmiles For example... Can you imagine an airline giving people free tickets while just selling ad space?

@runwithmiles 100%. I'm very much the outlier and was told by a bunch of longtime/successful bloggers my model wouldn't work. I can't put my finger on it exactly, but there's something about creating content and making a living without the audience realizing or noticing that's odd to me.
