as someone who doesn't need this product in order to make money, that's surprisingly expensive! people are really paying 30 bucks a month to edit instagram story videos?

I can’t believe people are paying $x per month to just put files in a folder to let them sync.

Dropbox is a multi-billion $ business.

Never underestimate what people are willing to pay for.

Pricing is extremely weird and there are interesting Twitter discussions around this.

It's crazy to me people are willing to pay $5 a day for frothy milk with a shot of espresso but Starbucks isn't doing too bad neither is Blue Bottle, etc.

As I expand the asset library, each template, and animated text I make takes a lot of time and skill that is one click for users.

Lastly just like Starbucks and other great companies it's all about crafting a pleasurable experience that people enjoy engaging with.

I want people to come to the product and have fun. Personally I LOVE using Figma, Canva, and Sketch. They are delightful for me.

Just my 2 cents.
