I suppose, as a DigitalOcean subscriber for the past five or so years, I should probably send them an angry email about this. I don't know if they'll be particularly threatened by me pulling my $12 a month, but maybe it'd at least get this noticed by some part of the org that isn't keeping up with engineering news...

I already contacted support and they sent me a “we’re working on it, here’s our response[1]” response, which I didn’t feel was good enough. I’d send them a support message to make it known that their customers are displeased about their actions.

Unless you make billing department notice, they aren't going to care.
I've contacted support as well to express my disappointment.
I want to say just go spam PRs on the DO repos and maybe they'll do something about it.

But totally don't do that because you read it here.
