      You’ll have to point me even closer because none of the comments I have seen on that post state what happened is different than what I described above?

      I can see a comment stating the switch is justified in their eyes, but it doesn’t negate that it is a bait-and-switch model.

        Wish I had time. If you care to dive in, I’ve provided a link to the post. If you don’t believe any of the comments fit, then I guess you don’t agree with the comments, and thats fine.

      Not a single one of those comments gives the clarity that you see to think that it does. There were two comments that seemed to support removing Linux from the free tier because… ? No real reason was given, even by these vague supporters as to why it should be free for Windows and not Linux.
