- tptacek 4y agoIt seems weird at this point to expect any new CA to ask for money.
- mdaniel 4y agoYeah, I did actually consider replying "but, why?" but that seemed in poor form on someone's announcement. So I thought the middle ground was to bring to attention that there wasn't a call-to-action and it doesn't appear in the Products drop-down as something one could get for themselves without already having a Fastly account I do actually have some sympathy for the monetary cost of the infrastructure surrounding the "pay to do math" model, but you're 100% correct that for a CDN company, that cost must surely be damn near invisible among the rest of their cost of doing business
