Monetization
Limited spots: honest scarcity or manipulation
The limit works because it's true. The moment you move it, it turns against you.
A top tier capped at twenty spots sells better than an unlimited top tier. The mechanism is well documented — and it rests entirely on the credibility of the limit.
What makes a limit credible
- It matches a real constraint: time, physical spots, copies.
- The countdown is visible and decreases in public.
- It's never quietly reopened.
A limit you raise once stops being a limit: it becomes a permanent promotion your members watched dissolve.
