    A few thousand people paying $5 per year is not enough to replace hundreds of millions.

    …people or dollars? ‘Cos i don’t think “hundreds of millions” of people are chippin’ in, it’s Google that’s financing “hundreds of millions” of dollars…

    But yeah, that target audience is a bubble, normies don’t care.
