How nice you got such cheap fares. However, do you think ryanair make any profit on that, even if you buy anything on board. So are they charging you so little out of the goodness of their heart? No, didn't think so.
So what's the angle you might ask? Obviously you can't fly pax around at a loss forever. Ah wait, here's a thought, maybe they intend to drive others off the routes so they can establish a monopoly and drive up prices.
So, great enjoy the fares while they last, but remember the day will dawn when ryanair are a monopoly, and will charge accordingly.
Ryanair are the ultimate monopolist airline (notwithstanding what the PR) and will agressively attack the opposition until they are dead.
The reality of higher fares will come sooner than you all think. That's the ryr game plan.

I`m SLF and love the cheap fares
Except by your own admission, they aren't cheap by the time you've finished paying all the extras.
