Episode notes

The price of advertising also has a power curve. Once you get past the head of the curve, it's all this programmatic stuff like people aren't buying no no advertisers coming to the most part. So and so in this exact my Zoe Keating thing, the problem I have with subscription models is it caps the amount of money you can get from your best users. You just have to get so many customers that to make it worthwhile.

This is the story of Stratechery, presented with much sheepishness on Ben’s part. How Ben thought about the market, his business model, and more. We apologize that this is a little long and perhaps a bit choppy. It’s hard to talk about us!
