They were recently acquired by ActiveCampaign though so hopefully things don't change.
You can set a flag so the user can't unsubscribe if you have a legitimate reason (e.g. transactional email) but I'm not a fan of the customer experience here as unsubscribe should mean that, unsubscribe.
I am sure you can play around with this but it feels like this product would benefit from getting into as many users hands as possible when you are establishing yourself in a client business. Atlassian is an example of this where all of their products (or almost all of them) are $10/10 users and once you hit 11 users, it goes up quite a bit. That might seem like quite a jump but imagine what you are paying in salaries at 11 people vs. what your JIRA subscription now costs?
Maybe not perfect with hosted cloud servers (as opposed to your own origins), but a good start!
But to clarify, they gave a service to people/teams who maybe they shouldn't have. Did the people signing up/using Slack know that? Maybe. Who's responsible to ensure it's enforced?
Slack.
I could be mistaken but business models built on interchange (I think) have been the downfall of a number of 'neo-banks' from the last 5-10 years. More recently I've seen people adopting a commercial-classified card (or other) for these types of plays for the sole reason of it attracting a higher rate of interchange vs a typical consumer debit card.
It's not free but then again, that's a good thing I hope. Implies they plan to be around for a while!
I contacted support and they advised them embed is the only option which makes it a non starter for me now, otherwise I would have happily paid the subscription as I do think the documents could be quite useful as a starting point.
If you want to 'compete', the way to play the game is to promote yourself as most of the time, no one else is going to. This is obviously what your colleague is up to.
I used to get mad about the same thing happening to me and it happened a lot. After talking to different people about ways to manage it, I decided to come to terms with it because I wasn't that interested in the alternative (self-promotion). Now I take comfort from the fact if they have to take credit for it, they are obviously worried about something that I am not.
On Android you can even read the message yourself. It seems iOS can do this too but for now it seems on Apple can read verification messages.
