It seems that the people who paid for app.net (myself included) are very motivated to get their money's worth. There's a group of people who seem to be posting all the time. Some have thousands of posts already. I spent $100 to have developer access. For me it's fun to observe the community develop, and see what interesting insights I can get from the data. In my case I don't feel the money I paid is significant. The time I spend online is the real cost. I suspect it's the same for many other people there.
