I&#x27;d love some exposure to the per-customer &quot;ARPU&quot; equivalent. Headline sums are really hard to relate to &quot;yes, but per-user, how many $ in the app store do you need to recover this cost&quot;<p>I guess none of them want to be that overt to the income stream side of this, but ultimately Reddit will, because it kind-of has to: it wants to launch into trade, it will have to declare its revenue prospects.<p>I use, and paid for Joey. I paid in the appstore. It really shouldn&#x27;t be hard to either do a levy, or some fee recovery model, although I prefer not to pay-per-click. You would think some kind of intermediate cache would help here, although I can see why not (live content, variant feeds) but frankly if this converted to &quot;one bulk update a day&quot; I&#x27;d be fine.<p>They say the NSFW feed&#x2F;moderation burdens are rising too. I don&#x27;t like people combining a financial and a censorship topic, I see distinctions between them. Please can we tackle subjects distinctly? (or maybe it&#x27;s reddit who is folding in the cost into a single conversation)
