Didn't WhatsApp used to be $1 a year before Facebook bought them and it was a very successful pricing model?
$1 a year for a website is very feasible for both parties assuming it's some Western society.
- davchana 7y agoThey used to say that at Signup, first year free, then again waive $1 every year in India.
- tehsauce 7y agoFacebook pulls an average revenue of $70/year on each American user, so $1/mo is leaving a lot of money on the table by their standard
- tw04 7y agoI don't think anyone expects this other option to be as profitable as facebook. If you actually managed to create something 1/7th the size/profitability of facebook and considered it a failure I guess I'd suggest you might legitimately suffer from visions of grandeur.

I was hounded and paid £0.69 to renew the 'subscription' ─ which was subsequently offered for free to everyone, shortly thereafter. I felt betrayed, but I would happily pay the same amount today (or slightly more), if only to preserve some shred of privacy.
