Is there an example of a Web3 company using a proactive subscription model so early users get grandfathered in at a cheaper price knowing it’ll be more expensive if they wait and this could then be governed by the community, the UX would be a graph a user can pan over time with a modest ceiling that can’t be passed

Web2 companies use to have more grandfathered pricing but I believe nowadays just bump up the price. I wonder if companies like Netflix had presented this model if it could have helped them maintain user growth by not losing customers wanting to keep the coveted price and continue to monetize them in different ways.

Lastly curious to explore what polynomial & curve would work well for this model probably depends on the app use case, with some models encouraging rapid growth with an exponential price rise early on, others more linear then hitting a cap. Also is this applied at a market by market basis or controlled by a macro var

This can possibly create clear runways for revenue growth in that aspect of the business. Incentives users to get in early at let’s say a $2-5 subscription and later users $10-15 for example. Alongside the governance aspect that can modify the curve of the graph in a controlled manner.
