The problem I'm trying to highlight here is conflict of interest.
They create one of the most popular JS frameworks - NextJS. They advocate for upgrading to the latest versions/features. But by using the latest version of their framework, you end up hitting a limit you previously didn't hit.
It feels like the wrong approach for a company that purports to serve developers.

- TechBro8615 5y agoMaybe the conclusion here is that Vercel should increase the threshold of its free tier for the new image optimization service, if people with the same websites (and presumably usage profiles) are now exceeding that threshold. But the accusatory tone in the linked tweet (“disingenuous”) sounds, ironically, disingenuous. You’re ascribing a hostile motive to Vercel, but all the evidence suggests they are acting in good faith. If they were so desperate to funnel you into their paid tier of image optimization, why would they explicitly document how to use their software with competing services?
