Do you go to restaurants expecting to pay only the total cost of ingredients for your meal? Fastmail provides an excellent service and if anything I feel as though I underpay for what I'm getting. I'm happy to know they have a healthy margin to pay their developers from and improve the product.

- eznzt 6y agoI expect to pay a reasonable price. Being overcharged by 90% is not reasonable.
- marcinzm 6y agoRestaurants charge 4-5x the cost of ingredients. So I take it you never eat out?
- eznzt 6y agoI have worked in one and no they don't. Most restaurants barely break even by the end of the month once you factor in all costs (like employees, rent...), which I did in the example of fastmail.
- marcinzm 6y agoYou said marginal cost which is not all costs. Marginal cost is equivalent to ingredients and does not include fixed costs which likely make up the majority fo their expenses.
