thanks for such beautiful insights. It's nice to see that there is no significant difference between free and almost-free plans.

Is that somehow possible to share your your thesis? I'd love to read end to end.

There's probably a flaw in paying people (MTurks) to choose pricing plans for something they don't really care about. Real consumers might act differently.

Thanks. The thesis is really mediocre academically, so I don't feel comfortable putting it out in the public, but if you leave an email address here or contact me through Twitter I'll gladly send it to you.

Followed you on Twitter.

Thanks for your modesty. Unfortunately, I feel the same about my thesis (in progress) and would much rather share some weekend hack on GitHub...

I think that's natural and OK. I would compare writing my thesis to writing my first full application after learning how to read and write code—even after several iterations under a skilled supervisor, the codebase is still going to have a more or less fledgling and awkward quality to it, even if the functionality proves useful. The second attempt takes less effort and results in higher quality output.

Similar to how few people would put their first application out in public, I prefer to keep my thesis private unless someone finds the information really useful :)
