Yeah, its so damn much money....
Five dollars might buy you a meal at lunch at a fast food place, once, per week.
Five dollars might buy you a specialty coffee drink, once, per week.
Five dollars might cover your commute, bus fare, maybe once a week.
Five dollars a day won't even cover what most people put into car notes, its barely less than what many pay to play some MMOs.
So in the grand scheme of things its not a price point, people just like to gripe about having to actually pay for what they do not place value on, or sufficient value. Face it, far too many geeks do not see the complexity of delivering the news. Oh sure they see the web side but even then they vastly under estimate the costs to create the process let alone maintain it.
As with all other pay services, find those which are relevant to your needs, but damn, quit trying to tell these places how much it costs to run their business
