Can anyone explain how this is possible when most other providers charge huge costs for egress? Is Cloudflare operating at a loss here?

- bigfatkitten 2y agoBecause cloud egress charges are a massive rort. Cloudflare, along with AWS, Google and GCP are big enough destinations that they pay almost nothing for bandwidth. Unlike the others, Cloudflare charges accordingly. They are such huge destinations that other network operators come to them and say "peer with me pls senpai".
