WTF? I pay for my primary monitoring solution, among many other vendors I pay. You have no idea what you're talking about and are repeatedly coming across like a complete asshole for no discernible reason or provocation, so I'm not going to continue replying to you.
Sorry, I’m implying that most people are cheap freeloaders.

Easy to say now that you’ve found a reason to justify not doing that.
> I was only using Uptimerobot to monitor 2 sites, which means they were sending less than 600 tiny HEAD requests to my infra per day. The approximate cost of that to them should easily be less than one cent per month.
Whether it’s easily less than one cent per month or not, it’s more than the zero cents you were paying them.
> there is no conceivable situation in which I would discontinue a free product with only 26 days notice
Try conceiving harder. Of course there are situations when you’d discontinue a free product with 26 days notice.
