I think the more shocking part is how a company is willing to pay $5000 a month for a chat room. More people need to make self hosted software options To bankrupt these types of people

5000 per year, not month

Ahhh. Even still. Gimme 5k and I’ll build you a chat room haha.

Hmm, I don't know how many people they were serving,
but with $5k a month, I think I could buy enough hardware to increase concurrent user count by at least 500 every month. And that is including the internet and cooling bill.
