> Now we can see how BCC was time-consuming business with profits that are not really exciting for software developer

In 2014, it was bringing in $4,000 an hour [0]. Sure, that hourly rate doesn't scale, but it was only 4-5 hours work for the entire year.

It's not surprising that sales weren't anywhere near the level they were when more time was invested in sales and marketing.

To me, it seems not so much that BCC was time consuming, it was that everything else consumed Patrick's time and there wasn't time for BCC except the bare minimum required to keep it up and running.
