It's insane to think that people think of that as cheap. It's ... adequate. Clearly enough to run a company that can support it and further develop it, all the infrastructure, etc. Somehow all other companies convinced us that it should be okay to pay $10 per month or more for the most basic of services, where until now their revenue per user was maybe $0.5/month for the biggest users (ad watchers).

$10 per year is what the vast majority of subscriptions should cost - they'd still make plenty of money, but it's just not enough for them when they know they can nickle and dime you for more.
