I agree, it's not the most user-friendly of business models. Do you know how to make a more user-friendly business model profitable enough to appeal to investors?
This is not a rhetorical question. If I knew a way to make a more user-friendly service profitable enough to have a reasonable shot of gigadollar return on investment (which is what it takes to be interesting to venture capitalists), I might very well go ahead and put together a YC application, but right now, I don't know a way to do that. Do you?
I would prefer not having to use VC money to fund such an endeavour. This model needs to stop, maybe a change to a bootstrapped model + pay to use is the way to go.
