Why connections stop at 150

DatsPro caps your connections at 150 on purpose — it is a statement about what the product is for, not a technical limit or a paid tier you can raise.

150 is not a quota that ran out and it is not a number you can pay to increase. It is the product's claim about itself: this is a network of people you actually know and work with, not an audience of strangers.

Most of what feels bad about large professional networks follows from unbounded reach — the pressure to perform for people you have never met, and the way a message meant for a few ends up in front of thousands. A bounded network removes the shape of that problem rather than adding controls to manage it.

It also changes what the rest of the product needs to do. When the people who can see your connections-only content are a set you could name, Who can see what becomes a decision you can actually reason about instead of a guess about an audience you cannot picture.
