I find it funny that a community of people who make their living off selling software are so averse to paying for it. How much of your hourly rate is the cost of buying this? How much time do you spend on HN daily? How much percent better does reading HN does this app need to make, for you to be ROI positive in a week?
- javery 17y agoIt's not the problem of spending $2, it's the question of if that $2 is going to the right people.
- mildweed 17y agoIndeed. This is the crux of our news organizations' current crisis. They create and organize the content, yet everybody else is using the content for profit. I choose to reward those who create and organize the content. The delivery of content is extremely easy, especially for me since I'm a developer myself.

- stse 17y agoOne might think that the developer of the application is the right person to pay for the application.
- shabda 17y agoWhy is $2 going to some ppl who made something which provides you with value >2 everyday,(or some random value), the wrong people? Extend the analogy only a little, "I dont buy anything on the internet as I want some of it to go to Tim Barnes Lee."
