Not condemning anyone for wanting to sell, simply asking why would I choose to use any product this guy makes when he tells me he'd be willing to "delete all user accounts and data and shut down the entire service forever" if that were a condition of sale. How is that in my best interests as a product user?


Lets make it a real life situation: delete all the accounts (in 14 days) and shut down the site forever. Plenty of companies do this.

Do you still feel the same way?

Human nature is weird in a way, we feel better about someone telling us they will note sell a service, even if untrue, than someone coming out and being honest about it.
