Actually, considering that the company has always lost money on TapTapSee, your statement that the company charging will hurt them more than it will help them is completely incorrect.
If charging decreases the number of images that the company needs to pay staff to identify, fewer staff need to be employed to identify said images. This lowers some of the company's out-of-pocket expenses that they have been incurring from donating this service which has been costing them significant amounts of money. Next, the people who do pay the fees help to offset the continuing cost of paying staff to identify the images. Considering how many images the identification staff must recognise in a day, and how much this has increased over time as the app has become more popular, I suspect that their low fees mean they are only trying to recover enough cost so they can continue affording the loss. If they were attempting to break even, not to mention making a profit, the fees would be substantially higher.
