One of the most distasteful, almost unethical takes. Marques grew to 18 mil subs because he says it as it is. "Do no harm" to the people who trust him and rely on his opinions - not to companies building BS products.

I find it distasteful, almost unethical, to say this when you have 18 million subscribers. Hard to explain why, but with great reach comes great responsibility. Potentially killing someone else’s nascent project reeks of carelessness. First, do no harm.

@jasonfried SaaS software products improve over time, or new, better alternatives come to play. Can't imagine buying any software product and committing that I'll use it for more than 2 years in unchanged form. I believe the ONCE model is just a SaaS with longer subscription intervals.
