    I'm saying that at least for me it's very specifically for this reason. If I'm living near my friends I still see them often. If I'm not, I don't.

    I've found it to be very obviously the case that the main reason this happens to me is that everyone is moving around all the time. People scatter to all corners of the country (or…

    I am. Plenty of software companies give away software for free and make money on support, hosting, network effects, ads, etc. But also, paying for software as an enterprise vs as a…
