I was trying to explain that people on closed source platforms, right now, get:
Good network effect
Simple configuration
Enough security theatre to keep them happy
Different extra features
That’s the experience I understand Beeper is trying to compete with… and make money in the process.
Closing the client, could help them differentiate above the competition by better integrating into their own infrastructure, still keeping a simple configuration, and charging for it, while people who buy into the security theatre, woldn’t notice a difference in that respect. Expanding to selling some user metadata, or sniffing the bridges, would be an extra.
Too pedantic 😉
