Problem: If your pricing is tied to human users, but AI is doing the work, you're leaving money on the table (or worse, annoying customers with irrelevant seat counts). Reality: Customers don't care about seats. They care about results. Manny's take: "Don't sell software. Own outcomes." If your product helps a customer resolve 1,000 support tickets a month, why charge for seats? Charge for resolved tickets.

'Not So Fast,' Warns Analyst on Snapchat Stock (SNAP) - TipRanks.com

Snap Inc. (SNAP), the parent of Snapchat, came under pressure last week after Guggenheim analysts struck a cautious tone following their review of Q3 user growth. The stock has fallen 24% year-to-date, in stark contrast to Meta Platforms (META), which has climbed over 30%.
