When I was studying economics, we always said that we base the price on these basic things:

cost level

competition

prominence of the industry/product

I'm seeing more products launch on Product Hunt that require payment to actually use any features. No free trial, no freemium tier, just a download that leads straight to a paywall.

Part of me thinks this makes sense. If your product has real value, why give it away? People on Product Hunt understand they're looking at premium tools. Plus offering free access can attract users who will never pay anyway.

But I also see the argument for temporary free access during launch. Product Hunt users want to actually try what they're upvoting. How can they give meaningful feedback or become advocates if they hit a paywall immediately?

Anytime we want to see technological advancements, we either keep an eye on Product Hunt, Techcrunch or the military. And that's today's case.

In the morning, I read this announcement:

Meta is partnering with defense tech company Anduril to develop AR/VR headsets for the U.S. military, starting with a new device called EagleEye. The new headset will include night vision, thermal sensing, and augmented reality features.
The partnership has raised eyebrows due to Meta s role in data and AI, and the ethical implications of a social media giant entering the military tech space.

We ve had tweets hit thousands of views and get zero users.

But when we DM someone with a clear pain point, they sign up in 10 minutes.

That s when it clicked:

Marketing isn t about reach it s about resonance.

When you're a 9-5 employee, it's relatively easy to determine when your work starts and ends.

But what about when you work for yourself?

Single people probably have no boundaries in this, but a completely different scenario occurs when you have a family.
