people don't want to pay, not even that tiny amount.

(You is to be read as Google, not you personally)

You didn't even give me a chance! I was actively looking and you denied me, I think because I was European and didn't want to lie or something.

And seriously: I only knew of it through HN. Was there ever any campaigns to inform about it? I can't remember seeing a single ad. Never heard about a single talkshow appearance from any of your bosses.

If I hadn't seen it mentioned deep in a thread here at HN, I would never have seen a single mention of it, either.

As it was, I was the only one of the dozens of other techs/devs I know who heard about it. Most were interested once I told them! There must have been zero advertising.
