> The challenge is to think of another model for creating apps and content
The original content model was sustainable for centuries.
Customer pays per viewing, and experiences entertainment for an hour or so.
Then another model emerged after the printing press and record player.
Customer pays once and experiences the same thing as many times as they want.
Now we have a model where a customer pays constantly for no specific entertainment in particular and has no control over when they lose access to some entertainment.
Maybe we just go back to people paying for just what they want…
The issue is the addiction to growth and VC money tech has. We can’t have simple transactions in tech. It needs to be recurring or predatory.
