So there's a metric called "ARPU" for social media, average revenue per user.
Facebook's monthly ARPU for America+Europe is $30 (Reddit's is .49, lol)
This is actually a pretty fair price for the service. And should be a legal requirement as an option tied to ARPU.
Who is calculating and publishing that metric based on what data?
It's usually just revenue divided by total users, both typically public information.
