There's something in the water at Mozilla that negatively effects all product decisions.

Notifications and collections are features, not a product.

A viable and attractive MDN product would be a subscription to all the layers above the existing docs and guides, combined with a major initiative to connect with experts to create course material and sell it as a part of the platform.

MDN: what got you here won't get you where you want to go.

What is a product other than a set of features? Especially in case of a paid tier on top of an existing free service.

A paid tier would be a product if it granted you access to content that solves problems you can't get for free.

My take is this isn't a paid tier. It's paid features, e.g. notifications. That's not to say it provides no value, but that there is massive value being unrealized.
