One thing I didn’t expect after turning on subscriptions

12 weeks into building VIDI, I finally turned on subscriptions recently.

What surprised me most wasn’t revenue.

It was how quickly my own standards for the product changed.

Things that felt “good enough for now” suddenly stopped feeling acceptable once reliability became tied to trust instead of curiosity.

Free users explore.
Paying users expect consistency.

Also launching VIDI on Product Hunt tomorrow 🚀

Curious if other founders experienced a psychological shift in how they viewed their own product once users started paying.
