you aren't wrong. It was an off the cuff email I sent at 3am, it was purely a rediculous top down analysis comletely devoid of research, simply to ilustrate a point. The point is, if you were able to get a million people to use your service and pay you $9.99, you would be making decent money. This is important, because there is a strong revenue stream tied to a service you provide whereas many companies struggle to get to 1 million users which if achieved, will complicate engineering and increase costs. After those challeneges are faced, well, then they need to convert those users into some sort of payment scheme...
