I do use AWS, and have tried out GCP before. Just because I use Vultr doesn't mean I can't also use others.

- com2kid 8y agoI should have quoted more. :) I was indicating why you might have gotten some early down votes, your comparison wasn't like to like.
- jazoom 8y agoThanks for the info. You may be right about the downvote reason (though it's a pretty ridiculous reason), but I don't think that matters since they are in the same industry providing a similar service and there's no reason why GCP can't provide the same service as Vultr, especially since they charge a lot more for their instances than Vultr does.
- jlgaddis 8y agoDownvotes here on HN often don't make sense. You can be exactly 100% correct about something and still get downvoted to hell. The best thing to do is to simply ignore them as asking about downvotes just invites more of them.
- jazoom 8y agoWell, I don't really care about the precious internet points disappearing. I'd much rather hear from someone what their reasoning is since I might actually learn something. But it is telling that there have been at least 5 downvotes but no one is willing to comment as to why. Edit: since I see you have a downvote (surprise, surprise) I'll clarify that it wasn't me.
- smt88 8y agoYour new downvotes may be because HN guidelines say not to ask about or discuss downvotes.
- thecrazyone 8y agoWhat is this? Fightclub? "Rule #1 of fightclub: You never talk about fight club" :D Seems like a recipe for breeding unfairness. "Don't talk about the system", :sigh:
- path411 8y agoIt just generates a bunch of unnecessary comments in a thread. There's already like 8 in this chain for example.
