Examples of these…

Why in the world would I help people migrate elsewhere to further the speed at which Bubble will lose customers and market share? I’m a professional Bubble Developer, so trying to make the platform less viable is not a thing I’m
interested in, and in fact it is just the opposite. My post here is to help Bubble fix the issues so as to make sure there is not a need to migrate elsewhere. The help for others I am providing with this post is to help Bubble understand the importance of fixing these types of issues.

Because I’d be homeless if I took a 30% decrease in my income…30% of 10 is 3, and 3 is a small number, but 30% of 1,000,000 is 300,000, not a small number, so 30% as a percentage is a large percentage, not small.

Okay, so I guess math helps explain that…1000x 10 is 10,000 and 1000x20 is 20,000 so the difference is that bubble is not just 1000x more expensive it is 10,000 or 20,000 x more expensive…that would be the type of difference 10-20 makes.

Because…loss of early adopters is a terrible. And as I’m a bit frustrated with the response being basically “Forget about it and move on”, I’ll let ChatGPT explain it for me.

If a company with a well-known community strength loses its early adopters and community champions, several key impacts could occur:

  1. Loss of Advocacy and Trust: Early adopters and community champions often serve as brand advocates. Their departure could lead to a decrease in trust and credibility among the wider community and potential customers, as these individuals are often seen as authentic voices that new customers look to when assessing a brand.
  2. Diminished Brand Loyalty: These core members typically foster loyalty and enthusiasm around the brand. Their absence could lead to a weakening of community ties and a reduction in brand loyalty, which can be critical for long-term success, especially in competitive markets.
  3. Reduced Engagement: Community champions and early adopters are usually highly engaged, contributing to discussions, generating content, and participating in events. Losing these active members might result in lower overall engagement within the community, affecting the vibrancy and liveliness that attract new members.
  4. Influence on Product Development: Often, early adopters play a crucial role in product feedback and development. They provide insights that are vital for iterative improvements. Without their input, the company might struggle to innovate effectively or meet the community’s evolving needs.
  5. Impact on New User Acquisition: New users often join a community based on its reputation and the activity level of its members. If the community appears less active or less welcoming due to the departure of key members, it may deter potential new users.
  6. Challenge in Sustaining Culture: Early adopters and champions are typically integral to the development and maintenance of a company’s culture, especially in community-centric businesses. Their loss can lead to a shift in community culture, potentially alienating remaining members.

Strategic Response: To mitigate these risks, companies should focus on:

  • Building and nurturing relationships with remaining members to ensure they feel valued and engaged.
  • Recruiting new champions from within the community who can take up the mantle.
  • Maintaining open lines of communication to understand the reasons behind the departure of key members and address any underlying issues.
  • Encouraging a culture of inclusion to help new members become active participants and potential future champions.

In conclusion, the departure of early adopters and community champions can significantly impact a company, particularly one that relies heavily on its community. Proactive management and fostering new community leaders are essential to sustaining the health and success of the community.
