    Netflix (and other similar platforms), Amazon Prime, Twitch subscriptions. Those are only 3 examples a ton of people pay for. If you provide a good service, you will get subscriber…

    Agreed on all your points except the last one. Not sure if it was just in my part of the world, but when Dropbox started, people only paid for local storage. And that was mostly te…

    What if it's actually an improvement in search results? Everyone will search for something with a different set of words based on their experience. If most of those sets of words, …

    The difference here is that you can easily calculate taxes based on the price you can see since taxes don't vary in the same state/province (because this also applies to Canada...)…

    My sister does that. She just keeps the TV on at all times. Watching a show on Netflix on her tablet? TV on. Takes a shower and is in the bathroom for 30-45 minutes? TV on. Leaves …
