I've only sort of been skimming this, but it doesn't seem to me like
there's anything shady or problematic about a company offering to sell you
lower-quality resources for a lower price. It's not "a big fuck you to
small customers", it's you getting what you're paying for. Especially if
you're actually a medium customer, and you *can* afford higher-quality
higher-priced resources -- if you buy the cheap stuff, what do you expect
should happen?
(It does sort of suck that small customers only have low-quality options.
I'm slightly sad about this in my non-work-related life at the moment,
that there isn't a Google Apps For Small Groups Of Friends sort of tier,
where I could use Google to host the domain that my friends and I use for
e-mail without having to pay a monthly per-user fee that might make sense
for commerical customers, but doesn't really for casual not-for-profit
(but not Non-Profit TM) random schmoes like us. "Vanity domains are so
1990s, shut up and be per...@gmail.com like everyone else" is unappealing,
but might be the answer.)
(But we digress. :^)
