This leaves a bad taste in my mouth, because motherduck is going to try and use this to squeeze more money out of duckdb. It’s a slippery slope from here on out.
To me, Motherduck have so far been excellent stewards for DuckDB. I want them to find a sustainable business model.
I doubt they’ll ever enshittify DuckDB core. It’s clear they’re only aiming for better integration with their paid service via peripherals like UI to improve the experience, but you also don’t need to use it?
