I’d wager they are taking startup credits offered by google, microsoft, amazon, et al to startups and reselling them. So someone can take 10k in azure credits and sell them to these people for a few grand.
these people are going to ruin a good thing.
- brazukadev 11mo agoFree credits are not a good thing long term as we can see with multiple tech monopolies we currently have so I'd be very happy if they can ruin it.
- prodigycorp 11mo agoAnd yet they also lower the barrier for people trying to build a business with little capital for infrastructure. Nothing is stoping you from moving everything to your own box when you run out of credits.
- brazukadev 11mo agoThe fact that I can do X or Y doesn't change the fact that the company offering free credits for me want and will monopolize the market and charge 10x more later. Just declining to use those "free" credits will still hurt me and you in the future.
