The pay-what-you-say-you-can approach is problematic when you want to "raise enough" when you can't rely on people to be truthful about what a fair price is though. I can easily imagine this killing a niche app that's not making thousands of sales.

It doesn’t always work out, of course, but society will be better for it. But in the end you have to decide what is right for you and if your app is super niche then maybe it’s not the way you wish to go.
