10 months ago@pluralistic@mamot.fr 1/2 Not saying I wholly disagree, but I’d like to hear your take on the following:
If you wanted to open a place in my food court, and you made good money from doing so, since the people who only look for food outside the mall typically have less available money and lower willingness to pay, would you say I’m robbing you if I started to demand rent or kick you out otherwise?
@pluralistic@mamot.fr 2/2 In other words, is providing a platform on which to attract potential customers for free on is a basic feature a service, and if yes, is it a service for which payments need to be rendered?
Relatedly, would a flat fee be better? You pay the mall’s rent, and either you have the $5k/mo necessary, or you’re booted out – this is how it’s done in real life, capital trumps – instead of a percentage revenue cut? (small devs/dev companies are the analogy)
