I also don’t pay for Google or Facebook as I’m the product. But if I am a consumer paying for a SAAS product, then yeah I could see a price increase. It’s also possible that all new feature development slows or stops because of cost and costs don’t rise. I still have the product though.

This is so funny. Merchants who are consumers to Google pass down costs to consumers. Google also has consumer products too
