Makes sense. I didn’t honestly believe they were selling data, more that it might be unsustainable. But they seem pretty confident so here’s hoping!

The bit I’ve always been confused about by Tailscale is the business model. They spend a fortune (i guess)in advertising on every podcast. If something is free then you’re the product. Assuming they’re not evil incarnate and harvesting personal data, I can only assume that a high proportion of self-hosters work in IT and have purchasing power. Actually that would be a fair sized IT department because 100 devices would cover a fairly modest office environment.

I hope that’s working for them because I fulfill neither of those criteria but as a noob I do find it jolly useful!
