The $10/month easily carries all costs even if 0.1% of users pay and the rest gains them zero. (At least, back when I did the math in ~2015, when they were probably a bit smaller than they are now.)

Facebook alone makes $23 per user (from US/Canada) per month so it probably should rather be $50 than $10 per month.
