I guess all those people who live in not-SF just can't be bothered to succeed!

$20/month is not above middle class in most of the world.

$200/month is, but you don't need that for anything except beyond-casual use of coding agents.

I’ve never been to SF, wouldn’t know anything about it.
To be fair if you think only people in SF can afford that you do kind of live in a bubble.
Nobody in this thread claimed that.
The person you were replying to was not talking about SF but you specifically called out SF so you were implying that
The thread started with "$200 is a lot for most of the world", the person I was replying to said "no it's not, now anyone can sell to billions of people", and I said "company success being concentrated in SF shows that that's not true".

I didn't say "only SF can afford $200/mo".

>company success being concentrated in SF shows that that's not true

You didn’t say that until now.

I think you’re wrong, SF being particularly good for big companies might indicate something if the conversation was about succeeding at a grand scale, not about being able to afford $200/mo

"I guess all those people who live in not-SF just can't be bothered to succeed!"
I explained it in my previous comment, I'm not going to explain it more than that.
