Yeah, if they're pulling $5/mo from each premium subscriber, that's... well, some pretty easy math. They could put a cap on the userbase if they wanted and still be pulling millions per month just off subscriptions, not even accounting for ad revenue.

Pretty crazy that they're pulling that much revenue without even using affiliate links.
