Have they ever actually done this? I can't think of a time they've actually raised their prices ever that isn't the Route53 passing on registrar costs.
They started charging for public IP addresses in early 2024, which was a price increase from zero.
That assumes that they've been similarly situated with an offering that isn't profitable and has no path to profitability.

What company selling a primarily AI-based service right now is making a profit on that service?
