> The fact that you believe that everyone using cloud products is either too lazy to learn or has been fooled by marketing because they can't think for themselves, I never said anyone was too lazy, just misinformed about the benefits, and it's a more far fetched statement to claim that marketing doesn't work than it is to state that it does work. As evidenced by some people in this thread claiming that not using S3 would be basically impossible (despite a large number of popular distributions literally doing exactly that) there are clearly plenty of people who have fallen for the marketing. Moreover, you're the one implying that falling for marketing is something only people who can't think for themselves do, that's also not what I'm saying. I think everyone is susceptible to marketing, and in this case, clearly a lot of intelligent people who are otherwise capable of thinking for themselves have fallen for this blindspot. I think you are the one being condescending here.
