Subscription Memories

I was speaking to a friend of mine recently from business school about Facet. I bring the app up often. Maybe too much. He had an interesting take on how he thought this could be or maybe should be a premium or subscription model service. Within the same breath, he mentioned how the payment model immediately conflicts with the concept that everyone deserves to be remembered, turning it into “everyone that can pay deserves to be remembered”.

I don’t know if this will take off, but if it does, I’d like to be prepared to understand the financial model needed to keep it running. For me, and for my data, it’s relatively inexpensive. Maybe a quarter a month. But things become complicated at scale. I need to examine how to address this, esp if we’re bringing in something like DMs and API calls, etc..
