It's a niche video production and distribution platform, that type of service costs a lot of money to run. They don't have an advertising network to subsidize their operation like say YouTube or billionaire investors relying on an IPO and subsequent enshittification down the line. The fact they can operate not only the platform but also pay talent for their produced content with that monthly cost already is a miracle.
