I wouldn't say the amount is that high, it's like $50 per month and that in comparison to all the value one gets out of the internet. Sure, things like Wikipedia or some YouTube channels have other revenue streams like donations that are nor accounted for and paid tiers probably subsidize free tiers, but still. And also in comparison to the prices of individual subscriptions for Netflix or YouTube Premium or a news paper like The Guardian which are each often on the order of $10 per month.
