The lemmy user base is tiny compared to reddit, so the price is higher.
We also seem to be willing to pay it. Personally, I think it's worth it
It may just be a matter of perspective, but to me, fewer users and content should equal lower price, not higher. I understand what you mean about them not getting an equal amount of money from the user base since there are fewer users, but by that same token, those users are getting less content through the app due to the same reason.
Seems like it balances out where both sides should expect less until things pick up over time.
Supply and demand works the opposite of that. When there's a niche market then things always cost more. It's why my baddragon velocoraptor dildo cost me my second mortgage.
Lol, not going to lie, the bad dragon example makes sense.
