Right, Tape-Op likely has the subscriber base of a size that makes the
ad revenue business model work, and right now, Waveform does not.
Which raises an question about how Tape-Op started out. Was it always
ad-supported, or did we have to pay for it in the early days? Anyone
know?

I'm happy to pay for Waveform as there aren't enough synths in Tape-Op :-)

(Thanks for reminding me to sub to SoS too. I've been meaning to do that.)
