If you think someone's paying customers are "debasing themselves", it probably says more about you not being the target market than a negative critique of the customers themselves.

I disagree. Many users are simply whales or people with compulsive disorders. Not everyone genuinely "enjoys" the model more so than being stuck to it.

Not saying there aren't people who truly like it. There are. But not everyone who uses it does.

Your comment might apply to addictive games, but you are being extremely dismissive towards a creative app that isn’t designed to be a slot machine. Who are you to tell others how to spend their time or money?

The app provides a service, that some users find valuable enough to pay $5 a month to use.

It's really that simple...
