I'm starting to think "freemium" is just a polite way to say "working for free"

I need to vent a bit.

I launched a free tier three months ago because every growth guru told me it was the only way to scale. So I gave away 1,000 free accounts, sat back, and waited for the upgrades to roll in.

Exactly 12 people paid. That's a 1.2% conversion rate.

The worst part isn't the lost revenue it's realizing I spent three months providing server space and support to 988 people who will never give me a dime. It feels less like a growth strategy and more like an unpaid internship for my own software.
