Everyone wanted less listening time. We spent an extremely long time researching how to accomplish this. You wouldn’t believe how many nights we stayed up to 4am, talking, debating and pouring over data to pull this off. Now, the shorter listening time has become more of a problem than a benefit.
We’re dealing with people overexposing themselves, lying about it and then blaming ZP (we just banned another would be “expert” who is mixing titles from multiple vendors, including YouTube, then blaming us for side effects) to the point where I’m definitely not releasing the 7 minute version.
Why?
Because I know exactly why this is happening. The subliminal community was not prepared for an innovation like Zero Point. If I had to do it all over again, I would’ve launched ZP in a slightly nerfed state and left it at one hour, because the fact of the matter is, we’re not ready for both the power of ZP and the shortened length. I’m on the verge of pulling my hair out when I keep getting PMs from people trying to find ways to run more loops per day. It’s getting absurd. They’re literally redefining words and terms to somehow get around the limitation.
You wanted to run LESS LOOPS and listen less. Now that we’ve done it, you want to expose yourself more? And then, people keep ignoring our recommendations as if we pulled them out of thin air and didn’t test them significantly, despite the fact that the testers are here themselves with full authority to speak openly about their experience and the majority of them will tell you that overexposure does NOT feel good.
You guys are thinking purely on a personal level, but as entrepreneurs and pioneers, we have to think big picture. We have an obligation to protect not only ourselves, but also the subliminal community as a whole. At this point, it would be irresponsible for us to release a version of ZP that would be prone to abuse. 15 minutes is convenient enough.
