lol (i was extremely guilty to this)
- ushakov 4y agoi was guilty of refusing to offer the service for free to a student at the time it didn’t make sense to me why i should offer something for free when it costs me money to operate the student in question switched to a competitor, got a job at FAANG and now their bosses pay big bucks for his usage lessons learned: offer free (subsidized) accounts to students so when they make it you could bill them or their employers
