Concerns about Storage Limitations in the Replit Hacker Plan

This change makes sense and it was like this before but it was a soft limit but wasn’t really enforced if you did not have bad intent. And having a few hundred users with over 100GBs of storage isent cost-effective by any means and it makes sense.

What bothers is me 2 things

  1. Replit staff said (IIRC the community slack) there would be tools for us to easly manage our repls/storage so we can get rid of a lot when this was launched.
  2. We cant buy more with cycles. Weather its a smaller amount per month or a set amount for life for a “dedicated drive”. Instead its hacker and pro. And if you are still using a lot too bad you cant use Replit. This doesn’t affect me using .5GiB but for people who build huge projects it becomes an issue where the single repl takes up that much space on Pro and they cant use Replit at all.
