We're definitely not getting rid of the free plan. Well, not until current management leaves, we do badly, get greedy, get bought out...

View on HN

Yeah, jerk! Answer for your unknowable future! "No way", indeed... the temerity, to suggest their product will be free after the heat death of the universe.

Your response seems like an unnecessary escalation. I thought the post you're responding to was reasonable.

I'm pretty sure it's a joke.

Jokes and other forms of amusement are banned on HN. It's been found that people here take things way too seriously, so the mods decided to ban jokes and humor outright.

(Happy April 1st!)

You know, I've had my share of rants, etc. on HN but revisiting Reddit has made me appreciate the HN policies more.

I generally avoid Reddit these days, except occasionally dipping into the VR sub-reddits. The level of stupidity, entitlement, and general melodrama is ludicrous.

It's like when you're subjected to the nonsense of a person who's become accustomed to being the smartest person in a dumb room.

HN is just a smarter room. Like Reddit 10 years ago. We should defend that.

Right. HN's lack of drama and brigading, and the fact that it's a small community, makes it a lot of fun.

(I just lament a slight lack of light-heartedness!)

I think that's the point of the question?

Think he was making a joke (about how you never know what'll happen in future). Or at least I hope so.
