The idea of paying for compute on demand is very alien to most people. A subscription service to pay for gas fees would be more appealing to most people I think.

my guess is it's hard to average this out. better to offer subscriptions for certain activities (e.g. minting nfts, sending payments, etc)

The only problem is externality pricing.

Isn't it all just paying for blockspace? I don't see a reason to separate types of transactions. I'm imagining different tiers for amount of blockspace per month.

I'm saying it will be a hard product to price because there will be such variance in usage. Partitioning by usage type would likely reduce the variance in each category and permit easier pricing

yeah you could do it with tiering. The argument for type based bundling is people prefer to buy outcomes (texting my family) not amounts (1000 texts)

I agree mostly. But why vary based on usage types when you can vary based on usage amount?
