Sync is mostly free, so those 5k users most likely are running that. I know I am. 1-2k a month is pennies when you are a programmer.
The median wage for a programmer in the US is right at 100k. 1-2k/month is 12-24k/yr.
I cant think of a single person who thinks 12-24% of their yearly salary is “pennies.”
Either way, those “pennies” came with a commitment. He could have done a low one time cost like sync for reddit and faffed about, but instead he committed to subscription payments, and those carry an expectation of support and features. As a programmer, he know this.
The simple fact is that people are paying for something they aren’t getting.
