I guess. Still feels like you're getting gouged when you know they're getting discounted S3 storage rates based on their utilization.


Fully heard and appreciated. Obviously, the storage of this media does have real cost, but feedback on the pricepoint is helpful.

Thank you.


Thanks Rob. I understand you have costs, but with both compute and storage prices plummeting, it stands out when you have an outlier like that.


They wrote the code, run the servers, pay for the storage, pay the telcos, pay the employees, have investors who want a return on their money, etc., etc.. In other words, they have actual costs associated with providing a needed service to those of us who don't want to implement it ourselves.


So I can't have the opinion that their price for something is exorbitant just because they're a business that has costs? What world do you live in?
