This logic is simply not how you get money from ordinary consumers. If someone wants to support you at a level of $X for a service they're already getting for free, saying 'just give us $X*5' is not the right move.

I recently watched a video game community melt down because (due to exchange rate shenanigans) the pricing of a monthly pass was $5.99 instead of $4.99, and people got furious when (a non-employee) moderator said the equivalent of 'you don't have one dollar?'

And did they all leave the platform or just a dozen of members published some comments of dissapointment?

It was bad enough that the developers laid off all the discord moderators and made a public apology, but they didn't say how many people chose not to renew their monthly passes.
