| > I was trying to tell you that most small businesses can't go around spending hundreds of bucks of things that provide little value And I'm telling you that if you built your business on top of GCP, a support contract is probably not "low value". You'd happily pay $200 for support on your critical infrastructure, just as you'd happily pay $200 for a repairman to fix your washing machine if you owned a laundromat. If you don't need support, then sure, don't pay for the plan. If you do need support, $200 seems pretty reasonable. > Speaking about about false equivalencies... Signing up for a monthly recurring support plan in case you need it is literally insuring your business. > For instance you may say "I can't afford to go to this restaurant", even though you'd have enough money to do it without going immediately bankrupt. But it'd be a bad decision, too many of which quickly add up. A support plan for your critical infrastructure probably isn't "useless". Which is the point. If your need for support is that low, then either you've built your own redundant systems to protect you or more likely you aren't running a real business. |
