My account got deleted and i've spent over $7 in the last 2 years and disabled adverts this week and it got deleted. If I can't get my data back then doubt I'll ever use Adwords again...

All my production buddies hate it. They pay full price, your the world and yet Soundcloud take down the tracks that they OWN. With no recourse or apology. Their system has been broken for 5 years at least for the power users in the community.

Also keep in mind that it is 10 standard drinks, so a bottle of wine quarter bottle of scotch. It goes to show how much alcoholics hide their drinking

I guess it depends on if you think that things that boost behaviours inherently are included or if only software counts. I see it more akin to if some users submissions were automatically tweeted whereas others had to copy and paste.

I didnt realise they had taken out the alerts on their dashboards that led to YC members being picked up by the vote ring detection.

this is exactly what I was referring to

YC employees have boosted stats, it makes sense to me as this is their business

Nice one DT!

Probably because the adverts that are blocked pay for the site. Kind of like asking musicians for zippy share links to their music.

How can they set a price without having a price for IP?

If a lightbulb kickstarter hadnt contacted a factory before coming up with how much it would cost for production then we'd be riding their asses

There are a few things here that I can see are overhead.

- It was an established design consultancy, that takes time and money to create.

- They charge the customer 3x what they paid you, but you dont know if the customer paid up. The had a contract, but then so did you, and you only got 8% of the bonus. You got pad your wage regardless of if they got paid.

- The pulled in the big client, this is almost important as a solo contractor, its their reputation on the line if you mess up. Its really hard to get those contracts or you need to have a contact. It's not uncommon for sales people to make 30% on big sales to land the contract on good terms.

- You did all the work, but could they have employed someone else, or are you the only person that could do it?

- Did they pay for health insurance, sick days etc?

- Have you thought about suing for your bonus?

you get better terms this way and is a way to shut out competitors that are considering entering your space (because they know you can burn money to stop them getting traction)

If you NEED money, you will find it harder to get

Yes. People don't purchase the iPad alone, but for the ecosystem. I moved to Android but just bought an iPad as it has an App I need for work that isnt available on any Tablet OS. Thats why theyre able to do it and still win over the others.

may be the only technology they could get for the price/quantity. At the end of the day most people dont care if they screen is 20% better, they want the functionality

What is the difference in:

free trial -> paid subscription?

It says 25% increase in revenue but presumably you have lowered your margins?
