the ironic part of offering discounts for yearly subscriptions, is that it gives customers an idea of what profit margins you have for the monthly plan. usually not something you want to do.

Less so in SourceHut's case, where all of the prices are basically arbitrary and the financials are public.
that's not necessarily true. Yearly subs give a business some additional benefits which can help to offset the 'lower' margins. There is some correlation, sure, but its not 1:1.
