It’s about the backpedaling. No one says it has to be free, they said that. They just have to keep their promise.

Here's our plan" that would be understandable. Sometimes you have a plan/goal, and you realize later that you were wrong and things need to change. But that's not what they did.
- hnarn 5mo agoI disagree, there is always a way to keep it free, if you care about keeping your promises. Especially in this case where the service is essentially locally encrypted json blob storage. There’s already plenty of premium functionality not included. If you have runaway costs due to abuse, just make up new limits to solve it.
