    wtf is this click bait

    n a recent blog post, the Signal Foundation, responsible for managing Signal, detailed the operating costs for the first time, disclosing approximately $40 million for the current year, with projections reaching $50 million by 2025.

    Using =/= Operating

      if they stop operating it, we won’t be using it anymore.

      it is likely bad phrasing, instead of intentional click bait.

      two sides of the same coin, just a badly phrased sentence

      [People] Using Signal Will Soon Cost [Operators] $50 Million a Year.

      if you read it as each user paying $50M, maybe touch some grass
