Model 3: The Profit-Sharing Tier

Users become investors at $10/month

How It Works:

1. User pays $10/month
2. 50% goes to service access
3. 50% buys “profit units”
4. Quarterly dividends paid

Psychological Hook:

• Endowment effect: Users stick around to protect “investment”
• FOMO: “My friend earned $83 last quarter”

“I stay for the dividends — made back 60% of my subscription fees last quarter.”
