Yay FOSS. But RE: death warrant…
I can imagine it being a decent money move.
You have a big user base that maybe isn’t really growing anymore. Anybody who wanted your shiny optional features is already paying for them. You’re not monetizing your free users.
What to do?
Kick everybody off the platform unless they pay up!
Now everybody who can afford your subscription but isn’t technical enough to search “migrate Evernote” is a customer.
And that’s probably more than like seven people too!
Obviously I’m not evaluating any business ethics here… just moneyyy!
