>because it’s a business expense
This here is the reason. For you and I, this is not an issue but some people can be extra ordinarily sensitive to the prices. And even if most of the customer base is fine with it, some will be quite vocal on the internet and one media house needs to run with it and Backblaze will find itself in a PR nightmare.
Though I agree that they unnecessarily wore their heart on their sleeves.
A coupe months ago, Basecamp went down and their blog post was profusely apologetic (almost as dramatic as Backblaze's blog here). People pretty much told them to shut up in the comments and carry on with their work.
That's the thing, this price increase flies in the business world. Not necessarily in the consumer world.
- jackcodes 7y agoIt’s getting late my time so excuse the brief response; it’s a business expense in the sense that I’m effectively a sole trader, so I bear as much of the cost as if it wasn’t a business expense. Rather than it being paid by a multinational corporate and having to chase down someone from accounting I’ve never met. Laziness (and liability, to a certain extent) is that I’m responsible for keeping accurate records and invoices for all my business expenses for 6 years and if I’m not in the right mood to take that on sometimes it just doesn’t quite hit the value threshold for me to process But I appreciate your points and it might factor into my mentality.
