The comparison to coffee always seems like an odd one. As a society we're physically addicted to and dependant on caffeine and lots of people are completely unwilling to spend $5 on coffee.

Is it $5/yr better than Blogger? Maybe. But to make that work you need a cost structure that doesn't set money on fire.
