they reach far more people, with a much greater impact.
it is a very exclusive platform.
to build the same mailing list with the same reach would require us to hire
and create a marketing and PR team.
even large well established innovative companies do not do that.
what do they do?
use a crowdfunding platform.
i feel it is worth continuing to be patient with them, given the longterm
support they've shown for so many years.
