Unfortunately the very-online-but-not-very-technical are a hard demographic to monetize, maybe more so than the very-online-and-very-technical.



Disagree. The very technical have a "the cobbler's children go barefoot" effect where they're unwilling to pay for anything. The non-technical are much more likely to pay $5/month for a program they use.


Under normal conditions, I'd agree, but the Very Online (But Non Technical) specifically have a chip on their shoulder about not wanting to pay for online services, even at a fair value.
