- Re: notes on platform
Only part of this email is public. The text below is the portion quoted in the source.
There's a big question on where we get the revenue from. Do we make it easy for devs to use our payments/ad network but not require them? Do we require them? Do we just charge a rev share directly and let devs who use them get a credit against what they owe us? It's not at all clear to me here that we have a model that will actually make us the revenue we want at scale. [...] I'm getting more on board with locking down some parts of platform, including friends data and potentially email addresses for mobile apps. [...] Without limiting distribution or access to friends who use this app, I don't think we have any way to get developers to pay us at all besides offering payments and ad networks.
