The only difference is, Sam Altman's persuaded me to pay him to sell me as a the product.</p>

<p>You weren't available all the time then. It was perfectly natural to assume someone wasn't at their computer and that was perfectly ok. It wasn't necessary to give status updates that you would in fact be on time to meet like you said you'd be, things were a little more planned, and you'd call or SMS if really needed but mainly don't want to intrude.</p>

<p>10 million requests per month for $5 is about 4 requests per second, correct? Which is about 3 orders of magnitude less than nginx serving static html.<p>As a comparison, that's akin to a person walking 4 km/day vs. flying 4,000 km/day,<p>It's still not a great comparison as the $5 VPS is already paid for.  But to take it as you suggest, I agree it's up to the website owner whether they prefer to have 4km/day workers who can sometimes clone themselves in different parts of the world but only for a limited time until they costmore, or a 4000/day flying suit.<p>Still a bit apples to oranges.</p>

<p>Wasn't Cloudflare supposed to prevent DDOSing?<p>It seems only a privacy leak tool now.<p>1000 requests / min @ 10ms limit / request. That's 16 requests per second. Any reasonable CMS, wiki or blogging tool should be able to do one request in 62.5ms. Add on cacheing for non logged in users and nginx serving anything static, that's less than the power a $5 VPS provides.<p>At these rates, the case for Cloudflare is a lot less than it was.</p>

<p>Teams.<p>Chat is not chat. Office Communicator and Skype for Business were chat apps. Teams is not. Not on desktop and doubly not on mobile.<p>Collaborative sites. SharePoint was a collaborative workspace. Teams' schizophrenic frankenstein of uninteroperable 'apps' from 'Lists' unaware of members of a Team to 3rd party *ware that has regressed in function, collaboration and interoperability from SharePoint so much a two decade old install of Joomla does a better job, is not.</p>

<p>You could just not used a locked down platform.<p>Or not use the app and use the website * .<p>Or protest why you're happyto pay an Apple Tax for your use of your own device.<p>Or not use Reddit given their hostility to users.<p>* Unless notifications are that important, and if that's the case I hope you're paid to use Reddit.<p>There are plenty of solutions. Being a Reddit 'user' and an Apple 'user' seem to have a big overlap. And sadly that seems to be 'users' as people willing to be abused by the companies they entrust with their time and data.</p>
