I think the good news here is that they're all unable to hit that fine line that Zachary knew how to strike and for him it might not matter much, but start-ups can be vulnerable and being 'open' may not be the right approach.
Especially if it looks like you are sitting on a real moneymaker. Zachary is going for subscribers and at the rate it's growing the turnover of awesomenessreminders might well be in the hundreds of thousands before long. That sort of success is bound to bring the vultures in larger numbers than what bingo-card-creator would experience, with the combined pressure of so many jackals it might become a real problem.
After all, if you're the #1 in the field and you're making as much as you do it can't be too lucrative for your competition to be fighting over the remainder of the market, but how do you think it would develop if you made a million or more per year? I'm fairly sure the competition would heat up quite a bit.
By the way, I think you have a great thing going with opening up your figures like that, for the last week or so I've been see-sawing back and forth about doing the same thing, I'm not yet 100% convinced it's the way forward (but I'm a lot less vulnerable than Zachary at this point in time).
