I was shocked by the headline, then I noticed that only over a third of the tools are used for development.
I was again shocked by their monthly spending, considering the stage they're at[1], but then I noticed that over two thirds are spent on marketing.
So all in all, it makes sense; they're paying for what they deem required to use. I couldn't justify to myself using half of these tools, at least, at that stage.
[1]: Which highlights how good we, in general, have it for at least prototyping stuff freely, or very cheaply.
On that note, I got so confused by a couple of their bills that I had to stop and see if the tools had some sort of restriction for businesses. Nope, so I don't understand why they're paying for some of them. I mean, they certainly should if they want to, after all, such tools are damn good services worth paying for, but they don't strictly need to.
