I love the attitude here - because in my privileged western world worrying if my monthly hosting costs are one latte and crossiant or two seems quaint.
But even in the "rich" EU Avergae monthly wages can be only 1,000 USD, making this a tenth of a day's work, and we don't have to go much further afield to see 6 bucks becoming a significant chunk of a workers day.
So thank you, some kids somewhere will be able to afford to develop skills because you started penny pinching.
Even for people who can afford it, this makes a difference for preserving low-traffic hobby sites you only mildly care about.
I have a couple of silly sites that I've run on App Engine for many years, using its generous free tier. If they were on Digital Ocean I'd have shut them down by now, as I eventually did for a Go search engine that I wasn't using much.
