    I love it when everyone says, "There's no way you can make money with [x] because nobody pays for [x]." Someone ignores that, builds a phenomenal [x] and starts charging for it, and turns out people will happily pay.

        1/ It is more accurate to say: No one will pay to alleviate $PAIN or for you to solve $Problem. Sometimes the issue is the customer is not AWARE of them. So you have the problem/cost of INFORMING them.

        2/ Mistake many SW companies make: You need large numbers of customers. You do not. That's what SuperHuman figured out. You are much better serving the 1% of market that REALLY wants your service. Trying to make it usable by the other 99% is a lotta work 4 low return.

        I think this stems from an assumption that just because no one pays for mediocre [x] doesn’t necessarily imply they won’t value phenomenal [x]. It generally pays to pursue excellence.

        When [x] deteriorates, people pay for better [x]. Water. One day we may pay for air. At least in Mars, we will.

        Streaming was one of those. I think the next underrated one is social media/news/non-fiction content.
