It’s not the amount. It’s the value for me.
$10 for something that is minimal value is the path to ruin, especially when done by many people.
There’s opportunity cost (ie, what if I donated to charity, etc) but mainly I want to support high value products with some link to costs. All these “just the price of coffee” 4-hour-work-week type things are an unhealthy way of looking at the world.
I like open source so I can stop worrying about stuff that has near zero marginal costs.
I hate to think of a future where everything I enjoy or use is “just $10 every month.”
