Spirit of the law vs Letter of the law argument. Which ever side of the coin you stand on.

Im definitely not referring to GHE. Im talking about real self-hosting infra. It wasnt that long ago that this was possible, and cheaper and more reliable. It's a pay me now or pay me later argument. Everyone now is complaining about the pay me later part of these 'deals'

> Doesn’t Apple do the same

yes and Apple does it for the 30% lock-in. Apple does it to protect their ecosystem. Apple also does not care about their customers, their developers, their suppliers or their employees. Closed systems do not help the populous. This is about money, captive audience and subscription revenues.

> Delete your account, get off that blasted site,

This doesnt stop it. That what a lot of people dont understand. If you never had a FB, Insta, Whatsapp, etc... account, you STILL have a FB ad profile. It's worse than what people think.

You have a small understanding as to how ads work and what they know.

He asked the business for a sales rep through their sales portal a year ago. That is enough. Shouldnt have to complain a year later on a social media platform to get a response that says "hit me up".

Ignoring a sales request for a company that wants to spend ~1M only to say pls reach out to me again after we had our second funding round in 2026? The OP literally could go back to their sales lead db and respond like a real business. So yeah unprofessional and embarrassing.
