They? I don't see OVH mentioned once at the above url. In fact, I see no provider mentioned.
Why wouldn't you mention them? Is it generic clickbait, and you don't want to get sued?

I'm not aware of OVH having jacked up prices recently at all (I have services with their SoYouStart and Kimsufi brands, and I'm sure such an occurrence would have started a bun-fight on the LET forums), at least some providers have.
The big one (that did cause considerable consternation) was Hetzner some weeks ago, though they are based in Germany not France. See https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/176802/hetzner-price-incre... for much complaining about that one.
As the problems causing price increases for power continue, I expect many cheap providers (who have very low margins so can't afford not to pass on significant increases in power costs), and larger outfits with budget lines, will have to change prices soon or fail.

I was so annoyed by that I actually started renting a new larger server from Hetzner because the old two would cost more and be slower, but since I’m a lazy bum and dislike the idea of losing anything, I haven’t actually decommisioned anything yet, so I’m now paying 250% of what I did before, instead of 125%.

It is not OVH, but you will see it happen there as well. Electricity prices have gone up by 500% in France. Cheap nuclear energy was the reason they were able to do low cost. That's gone now.

Oh, is this why I was kicked out of my OneProvider server hosted by Scaleway/Online in Paris?
See my post here of how they are jacking prices up: https://rorodi.substack.com/p/sorry-but-due-to-the-high-cost...
