Comment on Mullvad VPN: Introducing Defense against AI-guided Traffic Analysis (DAITA)

It's actually the other way around, the more users you have the cheaper everything eventually becomes

Economy of scale?

Yes, there's no reason this wouldn't apply to a VPN provider. It's also the reason NordVPN or Surfshark is so incredibly cheap.
They have lots of users -> They can pay lots of money for advertising -> They get more users -> Everything becomes cheaper -> They can pay more for advertising
You get the point
