Love your take on this and agree that 𝕏 is rarely a good place to learn about the differences between concepts because it just turns into a gang fight - which is the point of those questions usually.
I feel the subscription fatigue too. I have two books running right now and working on the 3rd one. I think books are great for the start if you can write them quickly. Sales provide great feedback if the topic is popular and then you can expand on it if you want.
I started selling books on Amazon KDP. I plan to launch my future books there too. I don’t have a big audience, so platforms like Gumroad aren’t a good fit. I tried listing one book there as a test.
Yeah I follow @greglim81 and he published coding books to Amazon. He says Amazon helps him market even though he doesn't have huge following, and found some moderate success
Does one-time payment mean users will have access to the app for a lifetime? What happens if you had only a couple of one-time payments and after sometime you decide to pull the plug on the bet? Would you have to refund the paid users?
Yeah you could just refund if it's a few customers. Good way to generate good will.
But I think it's up to you to define the terms of the payment upfront, to manage customer expectations. Lifetime deal is a poor term I feel - tends to get misunderstood as the lifetime of the customer (no company can guarantee that haha). I prefer to use "one time payment". Also depends on your product. It's easier to manage when it's just a digital download.

Yeah nuance is not a twitter thing, sadly.
Books are great! Write once, sell forever. Do you sell on Amazon? Or on your own store?

How do you decide what bet should be subscription or one-time payment?
