In general, on-demand print quality is variable because there are 10,000s of small batch print runs. Even when print quality is high 99% of the time, it still means shipping some badly printed books. Anecdotally, my sense is that quality is highly dependent on the specific region where your book is printed, so you might never get a badly printed copy, but many of your readers in another region might frequently receive low quality print. This has been the largest “hidden tax” of self-publishing for me.

If you’re still wondering whether that resource you’re going to add to your domain model should belong to a team or an individual user, just ask yourself: “What if a user wants their assistant to help them with this?”
Again, even if the team that a resource belongs to consists of a single user 98% of the time, it’s still likely that your most sophisticated users will want to be able to share access to that account with someone, e.g. celebrities or marketing departments on Twitter.

If your Google search isn’t what you want (need) it to be, then change it.
