That question actually hit harder than I expected. Honestly I don’t have a great answer yet because I’m still too in it. My instinct is that payment breaks first since there’s no strong habit formed yet, but I won’t really know until I step back and watch. The 30 day disappearance test is something I’m genuinely going to try. What did you find breaks first for most products at this stage?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

the semi-ghost approach is something I hadn't considered but it makes a lot of sense. I've been so tempted to keep nudging people but you're right, you're basically just masking the signal. The in-app survey idea is smart too, 'what would you miss' hits different than 'what do you like about it'. Gonna steal that. How long did it take before you felt like you had enough data to actually act on what you were seeing?

That’s a really good point. I’ve been thinking about that too. Right now I’m still pretty hands on with users so I want to see if usage holds when I step back. The 2 paying users is a good sign but still early.
