A couple of pennies time a Billion users is a lot of pennies.
It is probably way less than a penny per user per day.
We learned this from meta didn't we? A user is worth about $15 a month?
No we didn't. We learned they were required to offer an 'ad tracking free' experience and that they priced it at $15/month. As that experience only exists as a result of a law suit - we have no idea what a user is worth.
Because they were limited by what they could charge to 'sounds reasonable' and 'unlikely to cause further lawsuits'
I don't even know if this is true, but I'd love to know more.
Maybe we're worth £4 a month, but they just decided to pull a higher price out of their ass to dissuade everyone from paying.
I suspect the small amount of people who decide to pay will cost more in infrastructure, and causes more headaches to meta anyway.
