Fwiw, I personally like reading these threads to keep an eye on the negative experiences people are having with various cloud services. I also think this is incredibly relevant to HN, where the default discussion is how to build scalable services. The inability for these tech companies to provide fair human review is one of the critically unsolved problems in tech, and it seems to be getting worse.

That right there is a good reason to encourage it rather than discourage it, because it indicates a market need. This is exactly the forum to discuss how to address market needs, especially when it comes to cloud services and software, right? I hope, but also expect, that if posts like these get more popular, we will see some actual competition and the problem will begin to rectify itself, which will naturally cause these kinds of threads to diminish. If we suppress these conversations, it may take longer than if we allow it to reach public consciousness.
- GWBullshit 4y agoThe irony of "we're an entrepreneurial tech forum that doesn't want to hear problems about tech companies that don't want to hear problems about their platforms" is just ... so delicious! Just waiting for the inevitable next round of Congressional "What are you going to do about these issues?/Oh we're definitely going to read these legal department-prepared statements that vaguely suggest that we're possibly maybe definitely going to try do something undefined about these issues in the unspecified future."
