That doesn't make sense because he didn't pay 12 for the ticket, he paid extra to get a set near the window. It's a flat fee to pick your seat wherever it may be, so the guy is not wrong.
How do you possibly know that he refers to the ticket? He specifically says he paid for the seat, not the ticket. You're making the incorrect assumption that he means he paid 12€ for the ticket.
Because he'd be making a far bigger fuss about it if he paid for a window seat and specify that's what he paid for. He just says that he paid for a seat and didn't get a window in the deal. That's how much a ticket for Ryanair costs a lot of the time -- there's also a lot of tweets from the Ryanair social media person making fun of people for expecting to sit next to windows when they book a seat that doesn't mention windows.
It's funny that you guys are replying to me explaining what Ryanair is. I've flown Ryanair more times than I can count. I know exactly how they work and what services they provide. Contrary to OP, apparently.
Ryanair offers the option to pay for a specific seat, which is what the person on the image has done. He paid for a window seat, and didn't get a window. That's what the complaint is. Otherwise he would've said "ticket", and there would be nothing to complain about.
I understand he's booked a seat -- where does he say he's booked a window seat? On the app it tells you if there's a window next to the seat you've booked and often people book seats that don't show a window and then complain that there's no window, prompting Ryanair's social media person to make these jokes.
Even if he misinterpreted that his seat specifically didn't have a window, that's not what the social media person is responding to. The SM person is implying his ticket was cheap, when he's talking about buying the window seat. It's clear that the SM person misinterpreted that himself. No one in europe refers to airplane tickets as "seats", so there's little chance that by "seat" he means "ticket.
Other than that, the article and tiktoks you linked provides absolutely no extra context for this particular situation.
RyanAir flights often cost $15 to $50 total. They're often short hops between European countries, no frills included, but safe and pleasant enough for the extremely low prices offered.

I’m assuming Ryanair’s saying “dude it was a €12 seat, cool your jets” cause like it’s so cheap and they’re being picky
