What am I missing? That is less than $5 per month and I'd even pay 10-15+. They could make it optional.

My guess is, if the users could pay to opt out, the value of the customers that couldn't would drop dramatically, and you'd end up paying substantially more

You would, 99% of facebook would not. You would have to pay 1000 dollars/month together with the rest of the 1% for it to be viable, but with only 1% of Facebook, another free one would appear.

That's the average. Anyone reading hn is probably worth rather more.
