I am still not sure whether it was a typo in his math. He said "100,000 renders * 1/2 cent per render"[0] when someone asked him how come he was paying that much. And when someone asked a similar question to how the math worked out, there was no reply.

Still not sure how to interpret this, no matter how I look at it. 100k renders at 1/2 cent each comes out to only $500 total. Someone guessed that he could've meant $0.5 when he said "1/2 cent each", but that comes out to $50k total. Whichever math mistake I was trying to intentionally make, I failed to arrive at $1k. Could it be that his math was correct, but the total number was the one that contained the typo?

Not trying to accuse him of lying, I believe it was a genuine mistake or a typo, but as of now, I am still left not knowing whether the stated number was the one he actually meant or whether his math was wrong.

Sidenote: the actual product is great, and I absolutely dig the idea of it too.
