Here's an idea: Maybe they should try and find cheaper hosting[0] and solutions, rather than getting the reader to foot the bill for their (generally) crappy technical decisions.

- ultramancool 11y agoYeah, there's plenty of sneaky ways to host for dirt cheap. OVH, DigitalOcean and CloudFlare have really worked wonders for me. The hosting isn't usually the expense here though - it's reporters, photographers, etc. How do you pay that many people's salaries? Answer is probably that you don't - these companies will probably fail and other companies that can get away with cheap hosting and staffing will hack together comparable things using amateurish content. I'm fine with it. I just want them to die already so that alternatives will spring up more readily.
- duskwuff 11y agoI like NFSN's approach, and they're cheap enough for small sites, but their hosting is incredibly expensive at any kind of scale. ($0.25/GB traffic, $1.00/GB/mo storage, plus various other miscellaneous fees.)
