Account should be free. $5 may be nothing to some but a lot in less fortunate part of the world.
It is also up to account holders to turn the account valuable, and the investment they out in is their time, which is not free.
I like the idea of a small percentage go to the community fund, even 0.001% can add up to alot if Hive ecosystem can continue to grow users and engagement. ($5 pay wall admission will slow it down)
