As the success of Disney+ and the NY Times shows, we're in the golden age of media & content.

But competition is heating up. Who will win the game of thrones of this next era of the #SubscriptionEconomy?

Don’t talk to users?

Today’s launch of AI Feedback is personal.
It’s the culmination of my @Kraftful journey.
We built Kraftful to help teams truly listen to users.

Now we’re taking that mission even further at @Amplitude_HQ with AI Feedback.

AI can automate almost everything.
But it can’t replace how people *feel* when using your product.

For builders, listening to those emotions is how you create something exceptional.

Now you can do that right inside Amplitude.
Across surveys, support tickets, sales calls, app reviews, Reddit, Discord, X, G2, and more.

Connect your sources in minutes and start getting daily insights that used to take hundreds of thousands of hours to analyze manually.

Available on every Amplitude plan (even the free one!).

Go try it. Listen to your users. Build better.

Two immediate thoughts
(1) Accounting is getting harder. But good thing new tools like Maximor are coming on the scene.
(2) I hope you didn't blow most of the $9 million on that ad with Margot Robbie.

🚀 We’ve raised a $9M seed to power Maximor – the AI-powered finance team that fixes the back-end grind.

💡 Finance is broken. And the solution isn’t another ERP.

Subscription maturation requires new thinking about subscription monetization, that’s the essence of my discussion with @Zuora CEO @TienTzuo on What's Next for the subscription economy. We also chatted about whether the promise of "everything as a service" is really feasible, and why the subscription commerce industry hasn’t done more to self-regulate, leaving the door wide open for government agencies to step in and do it for them.

Right now hundreds of founders are thinking Founder Mode means free rein to ignore feedback on how to be a better leader.

Or worse, to continue bad behavior learned from imitating the worst of Steve Jobs.

Hagberg's research shows why that's wrong:

@tientzuo has likened scaling a software biz to climbing a mountain via switchbacks, saying “at each turn, you’re doing an about face, completely switching directions. You have to throw out the rules and redesign the company.” Excited to discuss his climb at @Zuora at #CloudNY!

[Tien Tzuo @tientzuo]

If a customer-centric world is our new normal, why are so many companies stuck in strategies of the past?

The answer is they still push "supply", versus monetize "demand"

@Jessicalessin We work with a ton of news companies and we're definitely seeing them double down on subscriptions, not giving up. And yes strong correlation between quality journalism and successful subscriptions.
