Yeah, I personally wouldn't choose them, but I think they do fill a niche for non-techie users, who will gladly pay a (sometimes hefty) premium for having less hassle on the setup and maintenance sides, when compared to getting A VPS or dedicated server somewhere (or setting smth up at home).
Their videos are also usually pretty informative, including e.g. the one about managing mastodon storage - since it's topical here.
I think the model is perfectly valid, so much so that I am also providing a similar service to serve this same niche. I just wanted to point out this in case someone comes to me and say "you are charging $14/month for GoToSocial, this is so much more than $COMPETITOR". Yes, my base price is higher but I do not put any limits on the database and even my lowest capacity plans have a very generous soft-limit 100GB media storage.
