Why is FB doing this. I am so perplexed. Like, I am still waiting for the "gotcha!". Purely to mess with MS?
They're in the business of encouraging users to post content to get more eyeballs and therefore more ad revenue. So commoditising a way of generating a lot more content is in their interests.
OP here. I purchased the first device privately from resmed (one of the main cpap vendors), but the actual one i needed was an ASV and this was refused privately and only available via the NHS. Reading between the lines, I expect the NHS is one of their main customers and had ordered a huge backlog, so they got priority.
I commented on this above but I think this is because ASV users need to be screened for heart issues first!
Exactly this. I've also dealt with the whole CPAP thing, and the extent to which the whole industry is obviously infantilizing-for-profit is infuriating. Over the years, it's gotten increasingly difficult to just "buy the supplies yourself," (aka easily and/or cheaply) and the extremely condescending "reasoning" we get is "oh, it's medical equipment and therefore dangerous so we get to control it."
And here, having done it for years, I can tell you this is nearly absolute BS. It's a hose hooked up to a fan that softly blows somewhat filtered air through a tube. That's IT. There's no remotely signficant way that this thing will hurt you even if used improperly; especially as compared to so much other dangerous OTC drugs and/or medical equipment.
While I agree in general, people who are candidates for ASV have to be screened first by a cardiologist. Certain traits can lead to a much higher risk of death while using one.

Dates.
Would be nice to have some sort of date info. Be it when the newsletter started or, more useful, the date of the latest issue.
Yea it's a short search away but I'd like to know if the results I'm seeing are even relevant as I see them.
Hi there. The app surfaces dates in various ways.
In the search results there's an "Active" column that indicates whether a newsletter has published an issue within the last 45 days.
Then when you click into a newsletter it will show you the "Founded" date (when it started) and the dates for the most recent issues.

nice! And I probably could give it a try to the premium version, however I've a question, do newsletter owners accept to have their emails included in the directory? or did you get the information through publicly available data?
It's important for our campaigns to know how to approach each potential publisher
Hi there. It's all publicly available data.

two comments.
Can I edit my newsletter entry? Secondly, it's SUPER expensive.
What you've built is very helpful because, as I'm sure you can see in your data, most newsletters have low digits subscribers and looking for inexpensive ways to grow. AKA cross-promotions.
So your product is an expensive gateway to try inexpensive techniques for growth.
Right now, no, but you can claim* your newsletter and soon I'll add the ability to edit your listing.
The current pricing is the cheapest it will ever be! I'm aiming this at businesses and agencies. I have a similar and quite successful app for podcasts that starts at $99/mo.
Back in 2014-2015 I created a platform for building crypto trading bots in the browser with Python scripts. You could write a bot, backtest it and trade live on multiple exchanges. It was a lot of fun to build, initially. I kind of stumbled onto the idea without any trading background.
It got some early traction. So I raised $100k of funding and went all in on the idea. I worked like mad.
But I slowly realised that all of my customers were "technical analysis" bros. Basically horoscopes for trading. I received endless support requests for exotic new indicators and obscure features.
I added a marketplace that let you sell your bots to others. It quickly jumped up to $10k/mo in commission after the fee I took. That seemed bananas to me as a 24 year old.
But the bots being sold were pure snake oil. I distinctly remember that the guy who sold the most didn't even run his bot with his own money.
I felt like was running a gambling site. After 14 months of this I was completely burned out. I quit and I wasn't able to work at all for four months.
Glad to see you figured out a smarter solution.
