Arguments like this would only be relevant if a subscription service's cost decreased globally as enrollment milestones were reached by their user population. Economies of scale kick in and you're not paying the same account... But we never see those sub cost decreases for some strange reason?
I'm really interested in a micropayment per search that scales like this. You would preload your account and get a rough estimate of search cost and could decide if it was worth it to you and also schedule searches to be done later at a lower cost time.
