For the world? Yes it is.

For the average HN user? Lol, no it’s not.

I would wager the majority of HN users can point to several dumb >=$5 expenses in any given month. If you don’t value Apollo enough to pay for it, fine. Just don’t pretend that $60 a year is a morally outrageous amount for software.

Depends on who you think an average HN user is.

$5 per month for Reddit is silly though. Expensiveness is based on the value/return of whatever you are buying.
