The hardest part of getting people to pay for a site is that first sign up and getting the credit card. If $1 feels like a deal and gets them in the door, he can then add micro-transactions and all kinds of stuff, and all of that will feel more fluid, because they can charge the card on file. Imagine paying to give a tweet a super-like, or paying to promote your reply to a post so the person is more likely to see it. He doesn’t even have to raise the yearly fee, he can nickle and dime everyone to death once he has their card and makes it easy.
If he wants to be extra shitty, he can hide all that stuff behind some kind of point system, so people don’t know how much they’re spending and don’t feel like it’s real money.
