You know something's wrong with your RSS reader when it has a support queue, and people are willing to pay for bumping to the front of it.
Are there any products with actual users and no support queue?

Is it really that expensive for them to run? Last time I heard it was a a minuscule amount per request, and peanuts for the certificate itself.

selling https access doesn't sound like a good one for me, this should be a basic feature with NSA and who knows who else listening in on everything.
If you want some privacy, you have to pay for it. Is that really that unreasonable?
Well, my reflex response is yes. Transport security seems like an odd thing to call a feature for a feed reader. Of course it's possible that it's a brutal cost multiplier for them - I'd be interested to know.

Google Search? I don't recall the last time I had to send Google an email because their search wasn't working for me. Over the top example, but an example nonetheless.

#26Great that they've settled on a business model, but I feel like if you are going to have a free tier that HTTPS should be part of it.
Why exactly is that? By far most people do not care at all that other people are (theoretically) able to see what they are reading. I certainly don’t at all.
I do not think HTTPS is in any way a required feature for a feedreader. It’s pretty perfect as a premium feature.

Seriously. You shouldn't have to pay to expect a reasonable amount of security as a user.
Security? Where do you see security issues outside of login data (which is already over HTTPS)?
This seems like a privacy feature (something not necessarily everyone cares about when it comes to their feedreading), not security.

How do you think the authenticated session is maintained?

Of course not, but pro will be funding their infrastructure as a whole
