"It's your own fault if you didn't foresee a trillion dollar company exploiting the product you made free and open source to help researcher and now are incurring 15K$ bills per month"
And then people wonder why people don't want to make their stuff free/open source. Even when it's free people still think you're somehow entitled and overcharging.

S3 data transfer isn't free, so I think it's reasonable to expect that, over time, the cost of serving the data is going to be prohibitive without funding it in some way. > Even when it's free people still think you're somehow entitled and overcharging. I just explicitly advocated for the opposite of that, so I'm not sure where you're getting that.
