  “Why we’re updating our pricing” mostly says more people are using it than ever, not that they’ve made enough changes to warrant getting extra money.

  And I guess that’s technically true. If people are too locked into their platform, then that’s a great reason for them to update their pricing: to benefit themselves over creators.

    We’re making more money than ever! But what if we could make even morer money than ever!?

      Hey, it’s expensive to host nude comics in s3 and pass payment info into stripe.

      They need to double head count because the middle managers need fiefdoms.

      They took very large sums of money from venture capital firms. As in many millions. Those now require constant and perpetual number-go-up. This won’t stop getting worse, let alone get better. There are other services. If you’re a creator, use them.

    They’ve added video, which is a pretty substantial expense.

  Yeah, have at it, the barrier to entry on taking some payments and distributing it to people is so high that no one else can possibly get in that market...

      Some went up 2% some went down 2%. The cost of doing business is up on every single sector from egg farmer to cloud hosting farmer. It’s childish and ignorant to think costs of services don’t go up over time.
