My 2 cents here: It's not always too bad or weak to assume some platform risk to make some business. Just always keep in mind that, it's not forever and that you should preserve some of that piggybacked money for less risky endeavors. I think business that are mounted over a giant, whilst prone to be killed anytime, can be used for a quick buck[0] as part of a larger plan. In this case, the author was aware of that, but more fore-thinking would have helped. For instance, I leverage Telegram bots to make some business, but I'm ready for such an scenario where Telegram, decides: - To make its API paid. - To copy the features of my bots into product features. See what happened with Reddit's API. WordPress purchased WooCommerce and it became a happy story, but it could have gone wrong and become a horror story where the purchase could have not happened, and WordPress gone into destroy mode. I tread lightly. -- [0]: Do not conflate "quick" with "easy" in this context. The faster, the harder it is. |
