How about I just do my job, and buy things I need (like dropbox), and everyone is happy.

Free space for completing tasks? That does not even make sense, because if you have to complete some task it is obviously not free. You will be amazed at how quickly your tolerance for such things decreases with age. > you don't need to spam friends, there are regularly things like contests (Dropquest 2011, 2012) where you get free space for completing tasks Just let me pay an appropriate amount for an appropriate usage! But I am the only person I know with a pro account, since it's such overkill, and even I kind of resent paying for so much more than I need. Well no it's not, obviously, since that's what I pay. > people who pay low amounts are the most demanding in terms of supportĭo you really think this would be a big factor for Dropbox? If so - just say any under-100GB account has the same support as the free account. Full automated services should not be subject to a monthly minimum, and they shouldn't need support. Every domain name registrar on the planet - $12 a year or so. Just last week I signed up for $5/month. There is a case to be made that charging less than $10/month for a service is not good business.
