You’re joking right? We’re on a forum where a good chunk of the people commenting have 6-figure salaries, some on the very high side of that. And some here have a lot more money than that.
$10/mo for something used many times every day is a drop in the bucket for many. It’s not true for all, but for many.

There’s opportunity cost (ie, what if I donated to charity, etc) but mainly I want to support high value products with some link to costs. All these “just the price of coffee” 4-hour-work-week type things are an unhealthy way of looking at the world. I like open source so I can stop worrying about stuff that has near zero marginal costs. I hate to think of a future where everything I enjoy or use is “just $10 every month.”
