I know that whales exist, but seriously... Who is into self hosting but also into dropping $750 on a service that can end on a whim?

Its like when a contractor quotes you a ridiculous price because they dont want to do the work. They assume you are going to say no, they dont want to do it. But if you say yes to their absurb price they are happy to take your money.
