There’s also the fact that he has quite publicly been repeatedly nagged to raise his prices by another “HN darling” and he has been resistant to it. It’s actually quite an interesting read that covers a lot of the things brought up in this discussion:

The screenhot of his proposal for the new entry page says... nothing. Which is probably okay if you want to pivot from a geek-ish service to one that geeks don't use, of course. Does the owner want that?

If I want to store my 100GB of data now, and I want to have it stored for a year, I want to pay for that year's worth of storage of 100GB of data now and not worry about any money or account problems for that bit of data.
