The bane of the public company. Once you get big enough that you're no longer able to sustain 20% yoy growth your investors will force you to leave no stone unturned.

They've already put in telemetry

Next they'll put in ads

Then they'll sell subscriptions to get rid of the ads

Then the subscription will become the minimum viable product

Then they'll put ads back in

Then they get Premium subscriptions

Then they put ads in there and release the Ultimate subscriptions
