Comment on Ask HN: Side project went viral, now Google is charging me $1k. Help?parent

Comments

I've built many side projects with absolutely no "business model". Sometimes it's just fun to make something for the fun and the learns. I think people forget that.

It's exciting to see people using these things, but a 1k bill would suck. It's definitely a learning experience, but saying "you should have had a different business model" is a little unfair. If we started every project thinking like that the internet would miss a load of the interesting, weird stuff it has.

For real. Sometimes people just want to build something and put it out there for the fun of sharing something cool.
