I'd love to know how much of their business is the formerly $5 tier, vs all the other tiers put together. I assume it's the majority. I also assume these popular, lower tier droplets also have a lower profit margin than the more deluxe tiers.
Shipping and inflation probably hurt their profits, but what are the chances that it's an even 20% across the board? I am assuming they're padding it with a bit of extra profit, to make it a round number. $1 a month per droplet is probably not enough reason for me to migrate all my projects to another service, and assuming most people are as lazy as me, they'll probably end up squeezing me for a tiny bit more profit.
I like DigitalOcean, I've been very impressed with their service so far. This is the first time they've done something that made me hesitate to recommend them. However, I'm reserving my outrage until there are a few more examples like this.
