I appreciate the no bs hn submission title, it made me click the link just so I can read and laugh at the PR approved title.

I was not disappointed: “Updating dbt Cloud pricing to support long-term community growth” - though I reckon they could have gotten “journey” in there as well.

This made me laugh..

“We actually get community members reaching out to us concerned that we are under-charging them because they want our business to be successful! “

May be it’s true but it’s beyond me that people are asking for a price increase??

I'd be sympathetic to that pitch if it was a one-person passion project, and the increase was from $5 to $10, but a whole company going up that much? No.
lol, they actually put it as a zinger at the end of the announcement:

> Thanks, as always, for being a part of this journey.

I have to say, the tone and execution of this announcement has killed all interest I had in dbt. I don't want to have to explain company behavior like this to my boss when proposing the use of a new tool.
