Soovox - Influence. Power. Rewards. Pricing Problems and The New York Times Digital Subscription - Peter Merholz by Peter Merholz | 10:20 AM March 28, 2011 When the The New York Times announced its digital subscription plan, which begins today, it was met with a fair bit of skepticism and confusion. If it fails to live up to expectations, it will probably be seen as yet another nail in journalism’s coffin. However, such a failure could be indicative of something much simpler — a lack of understanding of the role that pricing plays in customer experience. It’s not that The Times shouldn’t charge for its content — it has every right to earn money for its work. It’s that their current pricing scheme is needlessly complex. As in so many aspects of customer experience, it pays to look at what Apple does. Netflix won the video rental market in large part because of simplified pricing — you paid a certain amount per month, got a certain level of service, and that was it. Just as Netflix totally disrupted an existing industry with their pricing scheme, so has Southwest Airlines.

It’s one of those quotes that has haunted me, in no small part because Max has been so successful in such a wide range of pursuits and because I both understand his reasoning and [somewhat] disagree with his conclusion. Here’s a working definition of the coffeeshop fallacy: The coffeeshop fallacy is a mismatch between the work one imagines to be involved in a pursuit and the actual day-to-day labour. It preys on actors, artists, founders, and more A stoic solution I think I can see where Max is coming from.
