I’ve had a similar awakening a few months when realising that GitHub shows you thr cost of free-for-open-source Actions usage. On of my decidedly low-traffic but big test suite (173 checks) would cost thousands of dollars per month.
I have come to the inevitable conclusion that they’ve played us all for fools. We all have infinitely fast dev machines, but we need to rent a dev machine’s worth of servers every month to run an open source project?
Absolutely not.
In a surprise to no one who has looked at the economics of cloud services before, I think a *lot* of people are in for a rude awakening. It's almost like these bigco's were acting like dealers all along...
