> The guy built a niche product

Proponents never call it a niche product, though. They talk like it’s the one productivity tool to rule them all. Such attitude is the problem, not the business’s success.



They didn't move mass market right away though.

Funnily I am the one who always said - why do you need Superhuman if you have multiple inboxes in gmail and filters + shortcuts to cater for probably 80% of the functionality free.

But the OP of the comment has a very good point:

>he will face tremendous churn

The pricing didn't reflect the value for mass market. They started with SV execs. Them slowly improved and decreased pricing and released for `privileged mass market` later down the road.

It was a process in the end...

I still refuse to pay for it though :)
