Or, you could listen to the very real criticisms provided to your fellow nostr:npub1nxy4qpqnld6kmpphjykvx2lqwvxmuxluddwjamm4nc29ds3elyzsm5avr7 team member, make it easy to “downgrade” to the 69k plan, offer incentives to renew, and recognize that bitcoin is a deflationary technology, so people expect to pay less sats over time. Maybe your developer skills aren’t very helpful in marketing and sales, and you should stay in your lane instead of criticizing paying users.

Or, possibly, the subsidization of the free users by the paying users is too burdensome, as the value gained over the free service isn’t sufficient to encourage those users to actually pay for something, and actually incentivizes those paying users to simply use the free version instead.

Capitalism is a harsh reality, slaving away or not, money will flow where people find value.
