Doesn't make sense. If you have 10 engineers building a product and you sell one subscription for $100 you won't be profitable. When you sell a million you will have generated $100M, with have a far greater probability of being profitable.

That's software products that have marginal distribution costs.

I'm talking about physical products and/or services. Delivering a single package to an individual has a very real cost that doesn't really go down with scale.
