Ad removal has no server costs and now it costs 2.5x as much as it did 1 month ago

I literally just explained why the price per person needs to be higher now. It is not about server costs. It is about the cost of app development and maintenance.

Of course a single user is irrelevant, but in principle and if it would evolve into a larger trend: yes. At least if the dev wants to keep paying his bills. That is how business works. And with lower user counts at some point the required price per user would be too high to be competitive. Then the dev would have to abandon the project, since it would not be profitable anymore. He is a full-time developer after all.
