Sure, but how would they go about capturing that money?

As usual, by having 1% of the users pay 100x the rate, because $60/y aka $5/mo is nothing to them. That is, identify well-moneyed users and offer them something substantially-looking but trivial to support. Twitter/X's blue marks are a perfect example.

Is this the one percent fallacy? Would 0.01% of users be willing to pay 10000x that amount?

Apparently so, since Signal broke even last year.

But we were talking about a future situation where it became popular enough that the costs became much more considerable.
