Opinions my own… Boy, do I have some. Some are actually valid.

Oh, and feel free to ignore me and move along. It’ll trouble me none.

  • Products that don’t advertise can easily be better value.

    This is exactly my reasoning in refusing to do business with service providers that (in my view) over-advertise (looking at you Geico, Progressive, United Health, Taco Bell, other major advertisers)…

    Any service provider doing that much advertising is telling me 2 things with every ad: First, you already obviously have too much money and, Second, you obviously don’t need my money.

    Fuck you and your “brand recognition”.

  • We have been communicating on the lack of funds in the Foundation for a while now, the latest being here. And whilst we’ve been working hard to gather new members and are happy to see the number of logos increasing (thank you all for seeing the need for Matrix to stay independent and safe, and the value in supporting it!), none of the big players in the ecosystem have actually committed to one of the higher membership tiers, so we need to find other ways towards sustainability.

    🤔

    Sounds like that business plan isn’t working out like you hoped…

    And/Or not enough users care to use your product.
