App.net added a free tier in February 2013, and hit 100,000 users just two months later. By the end of 2014 they said that renewals were so low the site would be put in maintenance mode. So people are willing to pay for something, just not what App.net turned out to be. Or, they are willing to pay a little but not enough to actually afford the developers.
