> The main reason behind my decision is that I used to share the revenue to track my solo journey. Now with someone else on my team, it’s no longer my personal milestone anymore. I somehow have to be responsible for the whole team.

Interesting how when revenue was likely equating to profit, they are open to sharing. When they have to pay someone else to help out, they want it to be a secret. I don't think the motivating factor here is very complex at all.

Hey, G here, CMO at testimonial.to. There's still plenty of profits left each month, that's not the reason! In one sentence, he just no longer believes in sharing every core metrics but still plans to build in public.

...which seems to be for the reason the parent mentions?

"We're open until we're not." isn't "open".

How is it not? It's literally the definition of open, the opposite of closed, so "open until they decide to close" is perfectly valid. We are not dealing with libre or free software here, let each run their company how they want cmom.
