Look they've already cut off free API access. Here's some other ideas from the Muskrat playbook:

Maybe change the name to P.com

Change the logo to ₱ (surely the Mexicans won't mind that you're using the Peso symbol).

Hmm, why not also charge money to get a blue checkmark by your Reddit username to be a verified Redditor? or maybe call them P-ers?

Oh, how about charging new users $1 to use your platform?

The peso symbol is $, and it was it before it ever was the dollar symbol.

Maybe it's somebody else's peso?

Apparently Philippines, introduced when they were an American colony and USA thought that the $ sign was to be only theirs and Spain's.

More like charge money to be called a verified user without actually being verified.
