   I am an employee, and have my biases, but I’ll always prefer a customer's data stay on our backbone and not be passed through the public internet. Our customers also prefer it, and it's not something other Cloud providers can full

   Snap’s been a happy and public customer for some time, so any “free marketing blitz” would a) have essentially been used up before, and b) would truly have to be remarkable to work against some form of discount where the non-discounted rema

   (I'm an employee, with clear biases) Precisely this. Large scale infrastructure growth also costs quite a bit, especially when you pay for your own network and other works in progress https://cloud.google.com/about&#x2F

    Right? Something can be a so-called "open secret" but where it is brought up and how it is intended to be used is what is at question here. And arguing for the "heat of argument," is a weird position to take, but I'
