I'm not sure why you are so selectively reading my post.

I'll paste the first sentence of my first paragraph here again, it provides a good reason:

I appreciate the one less job in maintaining self hosting... I have other things to maintain and would have happily paid with a reasonable markup.

Also you can't simultaneously argue that I have no right to use a service with which I can compete with against cost price and that I cannot possibly compete with their price. I get the sense that you have an axe to grind.

My argument is merely that the price change is excessively unreasonable for those who only wanted git hosting... and at it's core, it's a git hosting service.
