I was just referring to the 'Subscription service vs One-time purchase' model. If you want to make a single presentation in a year, perhaps, not considering any differences, you are better of buying templates on Themeforest. But the convenience, cost-effectiveness of such a service, i can certainly see value

Great job! What would you say are the most challenging gaps between online sessions compared to traditional in-person sessions? What are your plans to bridge the gaps?

I dont think its just about playing by the book of law. I'm sure they also consider optics and trust in the brand.

I believe it's just an expectation that has been built by previous tippers. When there's a significant positive event like childbirth, obtaining a driving license, e.t.c, naturally people tend to tip. This sets a precedent and they start expecting as a sort of obligation.

Good points. I haven't read the link but aren't you missing the equation of price economics? Bitcoin is only highly skewed for early miners only if they have held on to their rewards stash.

Atleast what the designer intended/predicted if I remember correctly, is for the reward value over time to be the same. This is of course not backed by mathematical equation of sort. I would way super early mining is more similar to being the first employee of a startup that pays you in equity only.

For productivity apps I would agree. I personally don't care much for other apps. Good UX doesn't necessarily need native look IMHO
