Peer To Peer. Normally expressed fully as 'peer-to-peer', this is an increasingly significant and hugely influential concept, particularly when contrasted with traditional B2C (Business-To-Consumer) business models. Also called C2C (Consumer To Consumer) the P2P term was popularized in the 1990s, first describing computers connected via the internet to each other as mutual servers, to enable file-sharing, most famously for illicit music downloading. Since then the term has come to refer more generally to direct communications or transactions between people considered equals, where no hierarchy or authority or 'middleman' is required, other than the communications/transactions technology. Peer means a person of equal status and derives from Latin 'par' meaning equal. The P2P concept is fundamentally enabled by the internet and related technologies, and threatens/promises to alter dramatically how the world is organized, specifically the nature of major services which have traditionally required a hierarchical/supplier structure, but which now given modern computerized technology, connectivity, and data-handling, arguably no longer require such a processing/coordinating body. Banking and insurance are two obvious examples. Banks traditionally existed because a 'middleman' or agent was required to keep cash securely, and to broker arrangements between lenders and borrowers. Insurance traditionally operates in a similar way, by which brokers underwrite risks, but basically insurance claims are paid from the funds which are created by premiums from those seeking to insure themselves. Peer-to-peer systems effectively cut out the middleman. Advocates and developers of peer-to-peer services typically ask: Why pay for a bank or an insurance company - and for all their infrastructure, running-costs, profits, etc - if the service is instead available direct, peer-to-peer, at a fraction of the cost or for free? P2P concepts now extend to the issuing and operating of currency, to further education, and to major parts of the media, news, music, publishing, etc. The potential of P2P methodology to change the world is considerable. Modern communications technologies - enabling peer-to-peer services of all sorts - are progressively causing traditional 'bricks-and-mortar-based' organizations to become uncompetitive, cumbersome, and obsolete, especially where infrastructure is unnecessarily expensive and/or investors/owners/directors/executives seek unduly high rewards. Just as early 'cottage industry' was effectively wiped out by the Industrial Revolution, we can now anticipate many aspects (and corporations) of traditional commerecial/industrial supply to eventually be rendered obsolete, by a newer more efficient 'nil-corporation' P2P revolution, (which ironically could enable a newly resurgent P2P-connected 'cottage industry mark II').

Simple Matter Of Programming. SMOP (acknowledgements to D Hall) is typically used in an IT or ITC context, but the principle extends widely: SMOP is a deserved dig at those who make commitments while ignoring the implications (workload) arising for other people. For example when a project manager casually tells a customer "Oh, that's just a Simple Matter Of Programming," when in fact the commitment entails considerable work for the programmer, who has not even been consulted and must then somehow absorb the additional work into normal hours. SMOP is a more impactful acronym than the full OTJASMOP (Oh, That's Just A Simple Matter Of Programming), although the long version does have a certain ring to it if you can remember it. SMOP - or OTJASMOP - is also a common tendency among sales people (or those acting in that role, like interfering CEOs), who, eager to clinch a deal or to satisfy a complaint, make promises which cause a lot of extra work for someone else in the delivery team which is not budgeted or recoverable. In such cases SMOP might be adapted - and can serve as an excellent illustration of negligence and poor decision-making in communications, management, etc., for example:

Also, our free app is going to look and feel different. A few of the extra perks that many have come to love, like 2x and Photo Polos, will be behind the Plus paywall. For some, this change could be disruptive to daily activity. We apologize for any distress that removing these extra features might cause. But not having Marco Polo be a sustainable business would be even more distressing for the millions who have come to rely on Marco Polo as a lifeline to friends and family.

I say keep basic emojis and double speed. No need for special voices or filters or even the seconds feature. Just basic video, text polos, emojis and double speed. Those 4 basic things are all you need for the free version.

honestly marco polo has saved my life. it has strengthened my connections with friends and family, and it has given me a place to vent and celebrate and cry and laugh and be real. i feel the real me is able to come across in a polo, my true intent comes through, as opposed to a text or a voice message. marco polo has drastically reduced my anxiety over calling/communicating with my loved ones. maybe it sounds silly to some people, but this app plays an important role in my mental health. i will happily be paying for the plus membership. thank you for what you do

I think something to consider would be a lifetime access upgrade. I would much rather save up to just buy lifetime access to marco polo plus than add yet another monthly or yearly cost to my already tight budget. I understand why you are creating a plus version, but more people would consider a one time payment that is a little higher over a monthly or yearly payment that has to be budgeted for continuously.
