I'm pretty sure pinging services and such were out of their ToS anyway. They're better facilitating non-sketchy free users by giving them the Scheduler and a worker, and have given people who absolutely need 24/7 service a great service for dirt cheap. I bet most people who need the 24/7 service probably have the money to spare, and I bet most people are overestimating the uptime they need anyway. On the flip side, for a small flat fee, I can now have 10 processes running on a 24/hr server, effortlessly. I'll pay the 7 bucks for an easy deploy. Most of my projects are going to be hosted on Github Pages or Heroku's free tier anyway.
