Would you support a monthly fee to support the app?
If so, what would be the limit you would be willing to pay and what would you expect for the money? I would support a reasonable fee, 6.99 or less for exclusive content.

I don’t think the idea is inherently bad if they had an option for those who are willing to opt in. With that said, I don’t imagine people would want to spend more than a few bucks a month if that were a thing.
It would also create an issue between players who pay for donuts with those who pay for a subscription. How would the differentiate the two? People who buy donuts occasionally may actually spend more money than those who only have a subscription and making subscription exclusive items would cause paying costumers to quit. Sure, some might switch to a subscription, but the ones they would lose would 100% be paying costumers, not just players who play for free. It would be a risky business choice for a small payout.
The other option would be if they offered a few free premium tokens a month with discounts on other premium items. But that would mean they’d have to release enough premiums per month to make it worthwhile and it would most likely only entice new players since older premium players have a lot premium items.
With that said, it still wouldn't work, given they just added the yearbook which would negate any real advantage of the subscription system.
