People underestimate how valuable their first interaction with a product is.

Companies pay serious money for it 🧵

🤔Your first interaction:
First time opening app.
First account created.
First feature explored.
Seems ordinary to you.

🤔To companies, this is gold.
They need to know:
- Is onboarding clear?
- Do features make sense?
- Does value click immediately?

🤔Why first-time users are valuable:
Can only experience "first time" once.
Fresh perspective = unbiased feedback.
Real behavior data = product improvement insights.

🤔The economics:
Companies spend $30-100 per first-time user.
Some platforms pass $10-25 to you.
Your "just trying it" = their critical data.

🤔What this means:
Every first interaction you have with new product carries value.
Most people do it for free.
Some get compensated.

🤔You can't be a first-time user twice.
That moment has value.
Question: Who captures it?

🤔Your first interaction with products:
Free resource you're giving away.
OR
Valuable action you're compensated for.
Same action. Different value capture.
