- Applejinx 10y agoIt's for just this sort of reason that I took my DSP plugin business 'Airwindows.com' to a Patreon-only model when my 'shopify' (Kagi) went bust recently. It's getting pretty weird out there. This is very much about obliterating things like Shopify: helping startups is strictly tangential and/or temporary. It's all about the strategic moves and trying to prevent other players in the sector from growing. If they don't grow, they die, so seizing control is worth anything.
