Interesting observation. There are always people want lower price, especially the large users who are more cost-driven. However, the only real measurement is if they vote with their feet. Try raise price a bit and see how many people drop off and the impact of the signup rate.

They do. I've talked to people who have decided against using Tarsnap because it's too expensive for them; and I've talked to people who used Tarsnap for a while and then left because they decided it was costing them too much.

I don't understand people here. I know I'm not a fantastic businessman, but really, I think I might know something about the people who use Tarsnap...


I call these shodoos, as in, "You know what you should do..."

My response is always, "Please, tell me your idea." but the response in my head is always, "Yes, I do know what I should do. I've been thinking about this for several years, not just the 10-20 seconds you have."
