I imagine there were 2 primary reasons, one financial, one personal:

Number of heavy users (including a lot of mods) would’ve forced Christian to implement an open-ended cost model based on individual usage, or raise rates across the board to compensate, making it ultimately cost-prohibitive for the average user, and/or

Not wanting to communicate (by folding) such a change was okay. To move to a blanket cost model is to basically admit that you’re okay with and accept the changes.

Some might say it was pure stubbornness and greed, or conclude his decision was a bad one. That’s its own topic for debate I guess.

If B=A, why would you ever think A=B?! Learn your logic, man! That’s on you.

Really though, the structure for the program is just so aggravating. I’m a Pardot man myself. (Sorry. “Marketing Cloud Account Engagement.”) Every time I try to get a client to go with it, the AE’s jump in and desperately try to throw in Mobile Studio and everything else Marketing Cloud. I always go back to the client behind the scenes and warn them that if they go that route, I won’t set it up. It’s not worth the pain.

Have read this yet, but I’ll absolutely give a +1 for the “fuck marketing cloud” sentiment. It’s like Salesforce bought it, then gave up on it.

That sucks man. There’s something especially upsetting knowing how and why a loved one died, and that there was nothing that could’ve been done differently.

My Grandpa died of thyroid cancer from these tests. He lived in south-central Utah and remembers feeling tremors from testing on his wedding day.

Rumor is that Twitter didn’t want to renew its Google Storage contract, but the migration to the new system is taking longer than expected. Now that it’s July 1, everything’s going to shit.

Again, that’s the rumor.

Who the FUCK is spez? Sounds like the name of some mentally deranged, wholly incompetent groomer. The only name I can think of that’s stupider is, idk, something like “Steve Huffman.”

The thing is, they COULD’VE monetized it and still kept it alive. What they’re doing instead is killing the golden goose for a quick cash-out.

Edit: I hate your username. A lot of trauma associated with that failed tongue-twister.

Hey! I wanna be counted!

Now I am!
