This is the only DE/WM I have ever heard of having "premium" features. I don't have a problem with the developers trying to bring in some funding but this is bizarre. I predict there is around a 0% chance that someone won't fork hyprland and implement the premium features themselves. Especially in this scene.
I've been using hyprland for about 6 months now, it's undeniably performant, buttery-smooth even but there are still a lot of paper cuts there - I have a feeling this will piss quite a few people off given the temperament in the Linux community for subscription-based software; also feel like it's not really the smartest thing to do if good alternatives already exist for what you're building (sway is not far off in qu…
I've got absolutely no problem with them taking donations / having a premium option. But it is very difficult to comment on when there is no indication what the premium experience brings.
(Basically, nothing, it's more or less a donation)

Drew DeVault detailed that your Discord experience is not unusual https://drewdevault.com/2023/09/17/Hyprland-toxicity.html
How to fail at a product website lesson #1: Don't describe the purpose and show the experience of your product on the home page. I have no idea what "Hyperland" is.
It is weird, this is their main website: https://hypr.land/ Which has a demo. This website seems to only be for the account / payments.
I think a common response is that if you don’t know, you’re not the audience anyways. But that lops off your customer funnel and limits the general awareness of your product. You want to bring everyone one step closer to your product from wherever they are.

If ypu have no idea you probably dont want it tough
Earlier quoted context omitted.
This landing page also fails to properly describe anything I understand.
It's sway with eye-candy. (Or, if you don't know about sway, the Wayland version of i3 — also with eye-candy). If you're still not sure, you're simply not the target audience, these things almost always require further learning and customization, so some level of gate-keeping from the start is helpful.
But also, OP posted a link that is not mobile friendly (at least on safari) and doesn’t say much about what this is. The main page does a fine job though (for those would care I guess).
Having said that: This is simply not mature enough yet to warrant a 60 euro a year subscription, regardless of premium features.
To be clear, I do see the potential and I would actually pay it but this is too early.
