This is not a new contract - Pinterest has been using AWS since at least 2013 (I used to work in a company that Pinterest purchased a service on AWS from, and Pinterest was our largest customer by far on AWS even then.) So maybe they've gone from 200-odd or 300-odd to 400 million an year. I bet that would affect the commission dynamics too, but I'm sure it's a decent chunk of change nonetheless.
- throwdbaaway 5y agoLooking at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4004551 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4004551, their AWS bill was about $100,000 a month back in 2012. So it was $100,000 a month for 18 millions visitors, and it is now $20,000,000 a month for 454 millions MAU. Corey Quinn has to take a look at this.
