    Why pay the $10? If you’re going to drop from 77k to 10 you might as well drop to zero, right? There must be some nuance or legalese around this that I don’t understand

      Isn’t $10 the monthly subscription fee or whatever it’s called? Maybe they just want to keep that checkmark besides their name.

      It’s probably baked into their contract that there is a fee or other penalty for canceling. Or maybe an AI just decided $10 was slightly more optimal than 0. Or perhaps the contract period ended minutes after the billing period.
