npub1y4s7hjcxn9e2dxakrl98taqevp8vk9fn4axpkejqcuvackcg7f6sgnvgt8 (npub1y4s…vgt8) if Heroku had said "free for small scale personal projects for the next 5 years, but then you'll have to start paying" newsrooms and students and others would have chosen to use something else - including maybe building things as client-side apps instead because long-term static hosting is easier to find than long-term dynamic server-side hosting
But Heroku offered free low-traffic scale-to-zero hosting, so people made architectural decisions to build things on that
