I'm constantly surprised on this site by comments like "I would gladly spend $50/month on this", in response to startup/SaaS ideas that I'd balk at spending $5 on once. Perhaps it's cultural or perhaps there's just a lot of San Francisco salaries commenting here.

- slantyyz 7y ago> I'm constantly surprised on this site by comments like "I would gladly spend $50/month on this" If someone's willing to spend $50/m on something, the pain point being addressed is usually perceived as worth $50 or more in terms of money, time and/or stress. Pricing is usually set based on a specific target market, so if you only value that pain point as being worth $5/m, then you're likely outside of the target market.
