He would care because the 200/m relies on users not using the whole allotment and is likely heavily subsidized. What if the true cost is 4x? (Feel free to add api pricing numbers and correct). Is a programmer willing to spend 2400/month?

If he did care, then why would he advertise and widely make the tool available? Wouldn't he keep it a secret closely held between him and his friends and colleagues?

After all, if folks that make real, sustained use of Gas Town are permitted to do it for 200, 400, or 600 USD per month, then widespread use of Gas Town absolutely destroys the heavy subsidy that his use of Gas Town theoretically relies on.

No, I don't buy it.
