> Cohen last week offered $125 a share — consisting of 50% cash and 50% GameStop stock

So he's basically looking to launder his freshly minted meme stonks into legitimate real company stock. It's shocking they don't want it.

Yea fine I see that, but their entire business model revolves around exposing people’s otherwise private lives, and they are making a lot of money doing so.

It’s like using a web browser distributed by a an ad company whose business model is all about tracking folks

So don’t use Meta products if you care about privacy?

I dunno I put a lot of traffic through Vercel, maybe 100k visitors per day, and it was under a few hundred a month. I think a couple EC2 instances behind a load balancer would cost similar or more. I was under the impression that its still a VC subsidized service.

They regularly try to get me to join an enterprise plan but no service cutoff threats yet.

Not a single mention of Pandora in this thread? Do people really not use it?

It’s so much better for just picking a song or musician or genre and having a never ending playlist
