Hot take 🌶️
Most ‘activation metrics’ aren’t actually activation.
Signups, onboarding completion, session length → they measure volume, not whether users found real value or will stick around.

Subscriptions aren’t one-size-fits-all 👉 power users hit ceilings, casual users won’t commit.
Hybrid monetization helps:
💡 Use subs to anchor value
💡 Add consumables to raise the ceiling
💡 And one-offs to lower the floor
