Here's the purpose:

If, say only 10,000 people pay $12.99 / month, SE gets $129,900 / month.

If, say 30,000 people would pay $6.50 / month, SE would get $195,000 / month. Yeah that's right. Lower subscription, but still more money. And hey, there's more players too. That ought to help spread the word, wouldn't you think?

These are just theoretical numbers, but it demonstrates how a lower price could bring in even more money. That's the whole point. The whole point of this entire thread.

It's not about thumbs-up, thumbs-down. I don't know why in world you keep bringing it back to that over and over. It's about making the most money possible by considering a discount. This is the purpose.
