I actually think it would sort of rock if someone made it structurally unsafe to default host things on amazon by selectively making renting s3 buckets obscenely expensive by pointlessly scraping from them all the time
@jonny Or at least it would force people to develop adequate strategies (rate limiting etc) that would also be useful in different settings, because even if the data is not in S3, the cost has to be SOMEWHERE, maybe behind/on your uplink, and you'd need to defend there as well.
@jonny only vaguely related tangent, but lately I keep thinking that with the tech cartels dominating search and email we’re basically free to create our own second gay/punk/anarchist internet that they literally won’t touch.
@jonny although it would be hilarious to watch how fast Google would allow emails from a provider that specifically touted incompatibility with Gmail as a feature
