23:51:35 <MrMobodies> "Pricing Is a Growth Lever, If You Treat It Like One"
23:51:35 <MrMobodies> try explaining that to their customers, find out what their customers are doing, effectively spying on them, pull the leaver and make more money by how they are using it.
23:51:35 <MrMobodies> I think this maybe targetted for governments contracts where they'd be sure to apply this model and really pull their levers.
23:51:35 <MrMobodies> Joke: The mass majority don't use pressing that button at 2am in the morning, this will cost the engineers time and money (no actual engineers just the AI acting as one), you can use it against our wishes but we're going to penalize you.
23:51:35 <MrMobodies> I can imagine the sales people talking about how amazing it is to these poor customers who fear, and how they are paying a high price for something so new, "advanced" and "sophisticated" but in actual fact for things that had actually been there for decades, once brought with the rights to use them at any time.

23:51:35 <MrMobodies> Reminds me of how some hosting companies use to charge back in the 2000's to early 2010's, by the megabyte or gigabit I think where some charge a fixed price for a fixed amount.
23:51:35 <MrMobodies> this one they're doing seems forced upon on existing customers
