> My chief concern is the exploitation of users and how to reframe things as an experiment. My guess is that it's hard to do without driving away potential adopters who don't want to be screwed when you disappear.
I'm still all for driving away potential adopters. The default understanding, that startups are putting out real products, is hurting adopters that grow their workflow around some SaaS offering, only to have the rug pulled out from under them. I'd much prefer if startups were up-front about their real goals, though I realize this won't happen, as it goes against the whole premise of fast and massive growth.
