What do you mean by "promotion"? A discount? Credits to get started?
Yeah credits makes more sense ๐
Oh yeah, I know that that's a thing. It's a practice not too different from the stereotypical drug dealer who gets you hooked on free drugs. In this case the idea is that if you start there, you get vendor-locked and you will have to pay that amount many times over. I understand the appeal from the company perspective, though.
