That's right -- user first. Users will do right by their favorite publishers.

Good point. Thank for reminding me I might want users first.

You do what's best for the majority of users.

Respect your users.

Respect the users. Respect the process. Don't sell out your users for a few $$.

But also pick the right users.

I think this is right on. Users come first and everything else will fall into place. (I'm not saying to ignore everything else, but making users number 1 and letting everything else fight it out for number 2 seems like the best way to work.)

Hey, author here. By "first users" I didn't mean they got their first users FIRST. But yeah, got your point. Changed the headline to "Powered by" - An Acquisition Channel Nobody is Talking About".

From some users first, even if that doesn't include you

rocky1138 | karma 7524 | avg karma 3.47 · | 2015-12-11 16:01:47

That's what users are for!

woah | karma 10252 | avg karma 3.02 · | 2014-12-09 16:05:31

And I'm sure that's exactly what most users will do.

pbhjpbhj | karma 20396 | avg karma 1.24 · | 2020-01-24 03:08:00

Agreed, respect the user.

aaronbrethorst | karma 62694 | avg karma 8.0 · | 2014-03-07 19:07:36+00:00

Should users care?

marcellus23 | karma 2782 | avg karma 3.58 · | 2021-08-31 11:00:58

If they cared about users, they wouldn't patronize them.

breck | karma 16646 | avg karma 2.92 · | 2010-01-04 14:56:23

up to the users

mrits | karma 2104 | avg karma 2.06 · | 2020-12-10 17:26:09+00:00

For their users.

hub_ | karma 235 | avg karma 2.08 · | 2012-04-09 19:19:20+00:00

Users are the product.

qaz_plm | karma 230 | avg karma 2.74 · | 2023-09-29 06:42:19

Listen. To. Your. Users.

adrianmonk | karma 9385 | avg karma 3.71 · | 2020-01-02 14:40:18+00:00

Well, they are user-first... if you look at humans as resources and managers as users.
