What prevents one from creating a simple script to run this on a VM and click ads in order to make money?

Rogue Amoeba makes the best audio products for Mac. They're so simple to use but powerful. Highly recommend their stuff.

I've been a big fan of Hunter over the years. I've always wished there was an option to "Confirm" that an email is right, allowing the percentage chance it's correct to increase, or mark it as incorrect and decrease that percentage of accuracy.

Would be nice to know what the Pro features are. They aren't listed on the website or App Store, despite being referred to numerous times. One would think you'd include that on the pricing page or somewhere.

What's changed now that Facebook bought Giphy?

There were quite a number of apps that did this back in the '90s. Bombtrack 2.0, Flamethrower, NailMail, Emailblaster, MailBomb, and others, subscribed people to thousands of email lists. Back then it was much harder to block them or have automated spam filters block them, and unsubscribing was much harder.

I'm a big fan of Feedly.

Certainly are plenty of scraping products out there. The question is, how do you plan to keep websites from getting upset with you doing so? Some, like Facebook, frequently file lawsuits against those caught scraping their site. https://techcrunch.com/2020/10/01/facebook-sues-two-companies-engaged-in-data-scraping-operations/

How do you prevent the magnet from demagnetizing credit cards?

I think so. There are numerous examples of those that have used the same name for both and then had to go through the process of separating them. Google is one good example. Seems easier to avoid such a task ahead of time. What are the chances you'll always only offer the single product?

I've been a big fan of TweetDeck for years. Though it used to get weekly updates, those ended long ago when Twitter purchased them. But it's still a great way to follow hashtags, lists, and more. It really covers all 3 items on the list.

It's certainly a challenge. By offering it for free (or even a reduced rate) you risk devaluing the product. Unless people find a HUGE value in the product, they're unlikely to go from paying nothing to paying something for it, even if the price is very low. Look at how many will find a free app to do the job of a 99¢ app, despite the fact it does it only 50% as well. I'd suggest reading up...

I think this is a horrid approach. You need to be passionate about whatever business you're starting. Only you know what that is. You can't simply have someone say, "Baseball cards are the business you should start." and expect to attack something you don't fully invest in with a passion. It will fail.

Unless it works with Twitter (as in, the shortened URLs are displayed there) I don't see much use in it. Additionally, custom domains need to support emoji domains, something Bitly has yet to do (though Twitter and other social media sites do support them, as do many browsers).

Does my previous license key still work with this new version?

Seem the type of device companies would purchase, only to find they're not updated or supported a year from now. We're all on our laptops and tablets anyways and know apps there get updated frequently. We'll stick with that.

Seems to be missing most of the midwest. Nothing at all in Minnesota.

Not available in the US.

Once again the Awesome Plan users that helped build Buffer in the early years are left out in the cold. Seems more and more they'll keep all new features to the higher-dollar plans targeted at businesses.
