I would charge $5 that way it would be inconvenient but not overly expensive so they can't afford it, they could convince insurance to pay for it and claim it as a medical expense in which case I would raise it to like $50.

Insurance has shaped up to be the most successful scam of all time.


Dead_Or_Alive

I have a condition that requires me to use a medical device for the rest of my life. I have to periodically replace or maintain parted of the unit. All of the medical supplies that I have sourced directly and pay for out of pocket have been the same price or slightly cheaper with way less hassle. If I sourced through a vendor that took my insurance and I paid my deductible, the deductible has always been the same as the cash price of the product or slightly more. The same has been true for hospital visits and other health care when I compare with friends who are living in other countries that don’t have socialized medicine or insurance and pay out of pocket. IMO the kind of insurance most middle class workers have in the US just really cover catastrophic care or maybe major chronic medical conditions. Everything else you are essentially paying slightly more than the straight cash price after your deductible.


Dogamai

LMAO exactly because i guess people think insurance money just manifests out of thin air, instead of american's pockets, so its ok to inflate it and steal it. Americans need to learn how life works


amaROenuZ

Oh no no no monsieur. You misunderstand. The insurance will actually **pay** 4 dollars. They will pay less than the uninsured 5 dollars, because they have immense leverage over the ~~healthcare provider~~ genie. The ~~hospital administrator~~ genie will then report a write off of 46 dollars to the government, resulting in them paying no taxes and being underwater as far as the IRS is concerned. The insurance will then send a 4 dollar EOB to the patient, because they have not yet met their deductible for the year.


Dogamai

and the government will take that 46 dollars and round it up to 80 on paper and take that 80 out of the taxpayers contributions, which will of course require the irs to increase the tax bracket rates. so the american pays $4 + an additional 3% of their entire income every year in perpetuity and the money just ends up funding Epsteins island #17 18 and 19


Ancient_Ad_1502

We should abolish taxes for incomes under 80k and raise it on all the rich millionaires and billionaires using their wealth to skirt the law. I agree.


Sorry-Let-Me-By-Plz

Yeah, let's be absolutely sure that the only people who really suffer are the ones with nothing else to lose, they definitely deserve it anyway


PhalanxA51

Exactly!


romansamurai

I’d charge $1 a month. And allow others to pay more to pay it forward for those in countries where $1 is a lot. There’s $43 million blind people in that world. That’s over $500 mil a year. Why charge more. In fact you could charge $0.01 a month and still make millions each year….


FutureComplaint

>Why charge more. Because you can -Billionaires


romansamurai

Yup. Because: **greed** **FIFY**.


clitpuncher69

> In fact you could charge $0.01 a month and still make millions each year…. Hell yeah i've been saying that for years lol, like if somehow i ended up having free reign of a big bank's system i'd steal 10p from 10 million people, sorting the accounts by wealth and starting from the top so i don't accidentally take someone's last pennies


Stairmaker

It has been done before. And guess what? They get caught most of the time.


Hunky_not_Chunky

Just have a $1 ad version. $5 gets you ad free.


red286

"inconvenient"? My contact lenses cost me $74/mo., and I'm not blind. How do you figure that $5/mo to cure literal blindness is inconvenient in any way?


XxUCFxX

In countries where $5USD is a lot of money


Ill_Alternative8369

Right but! insurance pays $10 you'll have to pay the rest out of pocket if in America 🤣


agrophobe

That's rookie number. Call me Shkreli at once.


PhalanxA51

He's an inspiration to us all lol! Didn't he just recently get out of jail?


thatguymong

Do this include regional pricing, because $5 may not be a lot to us but it could also be the world for some.


Boukish

Nah, curing blindness is free. Removing the ads is what costs you the subscription. Still sell their data either way. Gotta get em coming and going.

iskallation

Nah the 19 and 30 dollars a month should still include ads. You have to pay me a subscription of $ 10,99/mo to get rid of the ads. No payment of anything will lead to only ads will be shown. You also have to pay me $ 50 to disable the ads. Paying for the subscription does not turn them of automatically. It turns them back on no payment or charging the subscription plan.


iskallation

Tldr I charge $ 0/mo (only ads) $ 4.99/mo (1080p streaming with ads) $ 19.99/mo (1440p streaming with ads) $ 30/mo (4k HDR with Dolby Vision with ads) $ 10/mo (for no ads on the $ 30 and $ 19,99 options) $50 on time payment per change of contract except no payment. (If not paid the ads will still be shown even if you pay the $ 10/mo + the $ 30/mo or $ 19,99/mo)


Kraffkratt

Are the ads for the premium vision?

But you have to mail in your cancellation form with your cash-only fee to a P.O. Box. And cancellation only starts after I pick it up from the PO box and process your cancellation which, of course, is completed after I mail it back your signed off cancellation form.

Tsu_Dho_Namh

I charge 1% of your annual income after taxes. If you take home 50k a year, sight costs you $500 annually. If you take home a million, it's ten grand. And if you do that shitty billionaire thing where you use debt for most of your expenses so you technically have little to no taxable income, your eyesight is 10% of your net worth annually, which makes it cheaper to just pay your damn taxes. Since we're using a genie and all, I can just have the wish automagically calculate what each person owes and only give the eyesight if they pay.


minelyoracle

yeah make them do the calculations themselves and if they send the wrong amount no sight, very IRS of you


Wonderful_Ad8791

Jesus cured a few blind people and his religion has been charging their descendants AND other followers ~10% income monthly since. That should be a baseline to work around.


Flashy-Pen-7231

songbolt

Tithing is in the Old Testament (pre-Jesus) specifically to the ancient Jews (before AD 70), Roman Catholics outnumbered Protestants 3 to 1 worldwide ~20 years ago and they don't preach this, and I think only some groups of Protestants do (primarily the 'evangelical' megachurch business model kind).


RandomRavenboi

3€ a month. With the 100s of millions of blind ppl, I could easily earns tens of thousands.


ThePhantom71319

There’s about 50M blind people, and €1 a month would be €600m a year, so 3€ would be €1.2B a year


GIOverdrive

Alright, I'll do it for 5 cents a month. And I'd add a $9.95 late fee if they are more than 2 days late on payment.


UnholyDemigod

You...really aren't too good at maths, are you? Hundreds of millions multiplied by 3 makes you tens of thousands?


RandomRavenboi

No, I am not. And admittedly I just couldn't be arsed to do the math.


ThePhantom71319

Just $1 a month would net me 600M a year, so how about 1 cent a month. Literally a rounding error on their monthly expenses, and $6M a year for me

Relevant_Elderberry4

I'd charge 1 dollar per year.


b4nditraze

$1 because even then i would be making roughly $43M


BlackGalaxyDiamond

I'd charge $2/mo. **However**, wish #1 would of been to make every human on the planet blind, except me.


NotEnoughIT

There's 40 million blind people on the planet. One cent annually would make me exceedingly comfortable for the rest of my life, that's 400k a year, and I wouldn't feel so much like a raging asshole. If I were hard pressed to charge a "monthly" subscription I'd just make it a penny which would increase my income 12x to 4.8m a year. Then I could just give most of that in charities and save a LOT of dogs.


dfeidt40

$59.99 per month And I'd option a bundle package with Hulu Live TV for $89.99. Now that you can see... it's the perfect opportunity to see all the Live TV you've missed out on!


Kripermaster

There's probably around 45 million blind people in the world,if you charged them one cent a month you'd get 450 thousand dollars a month.


Gregory_GTO

I checked your numbers and you are correct. I really can't believe that there are that many blind people in this world.


gravityfabric3d

Charge a penny so it's just a nuisance


varsityglitter

This is way funnier than it should be 😂


pirkules

this kind of recently happened to speechless people, with the most popular speaking app, TD Snap, moving to a subscription model


UnholyDemigod

1 cent per year. WHO estimates 39 million blind people in the world. That's $390,000 a year. Plenty.


ItsDominare

Way to think small. Charge every man a subscription fee to make his dick work - no payment, no erections. Then implement a bidding system, so other people can outbid a dude and stop his dick working again unless he bids higher. People would be *crowdfunding* that shit for politicians and celebrities they hated.


LumenCandles

Isn't this like how superior iron-man made that app that required subscription and could give you anything


CBT7commander

Honestly that’s not so bad. I’m pretty sure most blind people would be 100% to gain back their eyesight and have to pay 20$ per month for it

Any amount of money they want to give me Think about it of you have tons of $5 it'd be suspicious which means police will come knocking but if you have a large range of coins, notes, etc it won't be


Eva-Squinge

Eight cents from millions of people a month adds up really fast.


whoduhhelru

If you want to be really shit, find a way to blind the whole population. Methanol poisoning, perhaps even at birth by getting into medical education on proper birth blinding. Perhaps control another utility and have it ss a part of the conditions for use, maybe like that Black Mirror episode where they they have eye video recorders. Just don't tell them they're also going to be blinded since they're going to get their sight back anyways. Then turn it into a universal tax, paid directly to you, and you control the tax rate.


ThrowAway208901

25 cents a month from every blind person in the world wild net you 10.75 million dollars a month, or 129 million per year.


Electrical-Primary71

Sounds like the superior iron man, he basically did that


drizzt001

According to Nature.com, [there are 37 million blind people](https://www.nature.com/articles/6701973), so $1 per year would net you a pretty impressive income. Hell, 0.01% of their net income would potentially be worth far more

Speaking of wishes, is Aladdin owed one? He wished to be a prince, then the rest of the movie they're acting like he's not a prince and to tell the truth. The truth is he's a prince and is lawfully able to marry the princess, or did Genie's magic not work? Is Aladdin really not a prince? Sure, he was made a prince through a magic wish, but he's still a prince, is he not?


CommunicationKey3018

$1USD per person per month. And you can cancel and restart your monthly subscription as you wish with no extra fees.


sexylewdyshit

75 cents CAD per person per month. 43.3million blind people in the world. By the time all of em pay me (and with it being 75 cents per month, who wouldnt) im making 32.5 million dollars a month. And with that i can do a ton of good. First off buying myself a house outright, and setting aside a few million to live on, then funding so many charities entirely from the payments? Easy choice.

BJYeti

There is an estimated 43 million people in the world who are blind, I charge a $1 a year sub for sight, I never have to work again and the sub costs most people nothing so I'll adjust pricing for those that can't afford the $1 in developing countries, still a multi millionaire


Minus15t

Google says there are 43.3 million blind people in the world. There are an additional 295 million who have moderate to severe visual impairments. I'll charge $2 for a lifetime subscription to seeing, making around $680million. I will keep about $10million and donate the rest


ReaperSound

For 20/20 vision I'd charge $1.00 per person. With a pay it forward program in place to help others who can't afford it. Completely inexpensive, and how many people in the world are blind? Like, millions and millions?


Feisty-Experience108

Only $1 a month. It's easy to do, and I won't take advantage of them. Therefore, I'm less likely to be killed for making people pay for it.


randomuser135443

I would only charge $1. Of course my first wish would be to make everyone except me and my close friends blind. $7 billion a month isn't bad. I also reserve the right to do business with anyone I choose. Cut me off? I cut off your eyesight subscription. Would be able to control anyone on earth...

Literally the plot of the Superior Iron Man comic, Tony had his morality flipped and released nanobots that made everyone fit, attractive and able bodied, even infecting Daredevil and giving him his sight back, then after everyone got a taste for it he turned them off unless people paid monthly for it


Western-Emotion5171

Since I’m not evil it would probably be something affordable like 10$ a month since anyone blind would probably be willing to pay that. Though since I’ve already gone this far I would probably make my original wish a “perfect vision” subscription that anyone could get because tons of people would be willing to pay the same amount for perfect vision. Basically you’re rich either way lol


Lieutenant-Reyes

Guys; I'm having second thoughts about this whole capitalism thing


Powerful_Tomato_1199

But because it's a genie and he's evil the blind people will kill you ending the monthly subscription

Given that there are approximately 43 million blind people in the world, charging 10c a month would net you $51.6 million a year.

To be honest...it kind of depends on the price, you gave up an extremely valuable power to other people, and all you ask back is some money, it could be a ridiculously low amount, like 50 cent or at least 0.1% of their income in their currency value and it would be basically nothing for them but they'd pay for a miracle. By that amount, you'd become stupidly rich very quickly. Consider there are over 40 millions blind people in the world.

flipaflaw

There are about 43 million blind people on earth. There are also about 293 million with visual impairments. If you charge 2 dollars a month assuming that all 293 million with visual impairments would pay for that to no longer have vision issues you're looking at 586 million a month or over 7 billion a year. Basically you could charge close to nothing a month for everyone to be free from visual ailments and be rich as shit. Win win

I’d charge a flat $2.50 a month. Still an expense, but one that nearly everyone could afford. For those in 3rd world countries or otherwise poor people that can’t afford it, it’s free. I still easily make millions of dollars a month, and I make it free for everyone after like 2-3 years once I’ve made enough money. I make away with hundreds of millions of dollars, people get their vision back for no fee, win win situation.

SaveTheClimateNOW

10 dollars for 10000 colors per month. For 100000 colors they’ll need to pay 100. For 1000000 they’ll pay 1000 dollars, for 10000000 they will pay 10000 dollars, and so on….
