How much MRR is enough?

This week Jon and Justin answer a few questions:

  • From Jason Zook: "How much MRR is enough for Transistor?"
  • From Yaz: "What do you think of this new Supercast thing that helps podcasters start a paid podcast?"
  • How many people are really asking for this?
  • Looking for evidence:
    • "I just bought X."
    • "I just started doing X."
    • "I just switched from X to Y."
    • "My friend uses X, so I tried it."
    • "Using X, but want something like Y."
    • "X is better than anything else I've tried."
    • "It seems like everyone in my Slack is using X."
