Read it:

Atlanta, New York and San Francisco, 1984 to 2026. Four software companies give their product away and then have to decide what happens next. Ben Chestnut and Dan Kurzius run Mailchimp as a paid side project for eight years before making it free in 2009 and watching the user count multiply. Tope Awotona spends his savings and his retirement account building a scheduling link that markets itself. James and Alexa Hirschfeld sell a currency instead of a subscription. Chris Best and Hamish McKenzie take ten percent of somebody else's readers. The question underneath all four is the one nobody answers at the start: who is paying for the people who are not paying, and what happens on the day the terms change. Covers Ben Chestnut, Dan Kurzius, Tope Awotona, James Hirschfeld, Alexa Hirschfeld, Chris Best, Hamish McKenzie, Mailchimp, Calendly, Paperless Post, and Substack.
