I'm on the fence about sharing this, but there's a trend you can't ignore. New platforms are now paying decision-makers for feedback or attending sales pitches. Companies are saving big, way less than the usual $500+ for B2B meetings. Meanwhile, execs earn for just listening or responding, often discovering great products that get lost in the usual email or LinkedIn noise. I've been using this fozzie io and leadrpro – curious about this community's take.

I think there is not going to be more focus in paid demo platforms. Problem is - it may not scale that well. My take is community and content may evolve as an better alternative for engagement, especially for B2B use cases. Building those relationships is going to be a key lever for future growth.
