> If you're really only looking to spend $50, we should put our cards on table and say that we're generally not making product pricing decisions with you in mind.

i think is what gave that vibe off. I was on a read-only phone in bed and saw the quoted message. got up and logged into the PC to think about what to say. It may be time for cloud providers to dissuade small users away, instead.

Hes telling you the reality. Cloud providers dont want to _dissuade_ hobbyist users. But thats not their target market and they will make business decisions based on the revenue generating customer profile. Thats just being frank and honest.

Major cloud-style companies dont drive significant revenue from your $50/mo cohort. And a $5/mo dev account is basically courtesy for the sales pipeline. The vast vast majority of revenue is “enterprise” sales with private pricing and spend in the hundreds of thousands to millions range.
