Have you noticed that people are slowly moving away from free apps and services? Over the past 20 years, these were by far the most successful products out there from Instagram and WhatsApp to Google and YouTube, and it’s not surprising why. Given that these services offered a tremendous amount of value while being free to the end user meant that billions of people could give the service a try and eventually get addicted. But more recently, people have tended to shift towards paid services. For example, the number of people paying for YouTube premium is tens of millions. ProtonMail has also managed to garner tens of millions of users despite being paid for higher tiers. One of the main reasons for this is that people have realized that there is no such thing as a free service. If they’re not paying with cash, they’re paying with time and attention which is usually far more expensive. So, people have shifted towards buying back their time and attention using cash. This video explains the shift away from free services and why paying cash for services is far superior.
