Have we forgotten they promised free forever then flipped? I’ll pass on this, thanks.

  But but the CEO was completely unaware of this until someone pointed it out to him recently! And they never could've predicted the free tier would be "unsustainable" after spending huge on "indie hacker influencer" marketing squarely aimed at exactly the type of dev to use only a free tier! These are some very hard calculations and unforeseen circumstances, please understand.

    I think this one’s from the CEO or an employee https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45767872 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45767872

      Wow what a rude behaviour. And yes he is the CEO according to his HN profile.

  Thanks to 20 years of Google, we now have people believing something could really be free forever. I guess it is also worth changing marketing tactics for new demographics.
