> And so few actually deliver $10/mo worth of value. If 1password and Fastmail

Funny you mention Fastmail. I was happy most of the past decade until this week. I just had my email blown up by their new Paddle billing system with a ton of billing invoices since they decided it was no longer ok that I pay them a lump sump every 2 years, and that I must go onto monthly now. Initially I thought they were hacked but nope, just terrible communication.

I emailed them a few days ago and they only confirmed that Paddle is their merchant of record and they have been migrating accounts over slowly.

Tonight the CEO sent out a blast saying resellers need to be on monthly billing with their new system at new pricing.

Sorry Fastmail, I paid for 2 years back in October (I think this is my 3rd cycle with them). If you want me on monthly billing then you will wait until October 2027. That is a ‘you’ problem not a ‘me’ problem if you undersold the subscription this cycle.
