True, but I feel like I get more out of my streaming accounts than I do social media. If I had to pay more than $5/month, I’d likely just opt-out entirely. 

 lol what did you miss? 

 Canada is just a province of the Cuban empire to be fair.

 Maybe I missed the point @jb55 was saying, but I come at it from two angles. 

1) $20/ month is more expensive than what it costs to use twitter, instagram, or facebook, so most people won’t do it.

2) check your financial privilege. it’s a point a privilege that $20/ month is a laughably small amount for you to consider, but for some folks that’s a lot of money, so you just priced out poor people from running a relay. 

Open to hearing what I missed! 

 Not everyone has to run a relay.

Unlike twitter, you dont need to spin up your mega corporation to participate.

Opportunity to participate and freedom just increased by orders of magnitude! 

 You don't need to run a relay to participate, but if you want a relay just for you $20 is definitely too expensive, you can get away with $3.5 (that's the cheapest VPS I could find). $20 buys you a relay for at a handful of thousands. 

 $20 cuck bucks is more then some people make in a year still… 

 This is misleading framing.

$20, or as fiatjaf clarified $3.50 to run the relay for your community of 3,000 people.

$20 nor $3.50 is not a cost to participate. 

Compare to twitter ID required (billions dont have this), and bank account required (billions dont have this).
