I don’t know if I agree with ditching the paid marketing team right now. Reason being Fleming is (hopefully) on the near horizon. When that happens there is a real useable product to show people. Up until now it was promoting something we will have later but at Fleming we can promote something that is live today. Maybe it was not generating value equal to or greater then the costs in the past. The landscape is going to really change soon though and it should be a lot easier to sell.
One way or another we are gonna need to find new customers in the medium term if we don’t want to see the price go down IMO. That loan deal unfroze a lot of MAID so the supply on the market is going to go up… but I don’t see that many new people joining these forums. For the company to be able to sell all that MAID they need someone to sell it to, and marketing is the way to find those people.
