alt Hacker News> The subscription prices can not be financially sustainable. There is no way that is remotely close to the actual cost of running.
Welcome to... any subscription system ever? If every person with a gym subscription actually went there say three times a week, or every person living in a dorm paying flat rate for electricity started mining bitcoin 24/7, these systems would collapse. That doesn't mean it's not sustainable, it just is how subscription pricing works, by having some people use its offers a ton and others barely at all
This metaphor gets repeated a lot for some reason but using a gym subscription has an upper bound. If one subscription could be using 10000 different machines at the same time their model would be entirely different.
