I think there's a really good point in here that you sort of touch on that is lost on a lot of new products.
I'd pay $20 one-time for ad-free Twitter even though I can just have a (free) browser extension do it. I'd pay $20 one-time to remove all suggested posts/users/etc, even though the same extension does that too. Archival access would be really interesting on something like Twitter where just about everything gets archived externally or screenshotted anyway.
But the minute any of these become recurring costs, even on the order of $1/mo, I'm out.
I feel like the search for recurring revenue has hampered a lot of company's ability to make real revenue.

Users generally don't want to pay, so now they're the product. Just to get users products offer unsustainable free services and then die when they reach the breaking point or fail to get folk to pay. Users get upset when the products ask them to pay or revoke their free tier or just vanish ... Wash rinse repeat.
