You don't think it's possible that the $50/year is just a Kickstarter-style price to get early funding, and they're just going to charge $5 a month from here on out?

It seems like your premise bends on the idea that the model is always going to be like this.

$5 a month is $60 a year, which is a price increase.

But it feels like less. $5 is like half a meal at Chipotle. If you can't afford that, I don't know what to say to you. That is not a lot of money.

Did you know that many professional organizations charge $100 per year to join them? How is this different?

I mean, you totally missed my point. I'm not sure what else to say.
