A bit of unsolicited advice:

This post is the first time I've heard of your company and your blog post interested me.

When proprietors go to the mat in the comment section, I immediately lose any interest in patronizing them.

I think it's great evening entertainment. Keep fanning the flames while I go make some popcorn!

He's responding in good faith to people expressing doubt that they will maintain this pricing tier, and is responding to rebuttals. Whether you agree with his point of view is different.

Sam is a great twitter follow

thank you

Off-topic, but you have a typo on your pricing page: "high-availablity"

Your loss, Planetscale is an amazing product.

I know comments section drama is fun, but I'm not seeing it here and it feels like you're trying to create it from scratch.

why is it going to the mat? i had to correct something that was untrue. 1.5 years is not very recently.

Case in point. Potential customers will see this dismissal as the equivalent of how long they expect this pricing to remain. You’re free to increase the price in a year and when customers are irked, “why isn’t it $5 anymore?” They’ll be met with “that’s not recent.” “That was so long ago”

If you want to rebuild reputation with hobby tier, you’ll probably want to put in a 3 year pricing guarantee, not 1 month like the notice last time.

1.5 years ago is recently IMO.
