More than 200,000 people had canceled their digital subscriptions by midday Monday, according to two people at the paper with knowledge of internal matters. Not all cancellations take effect immediately. Still, the figure represents about 8% of the paper’s paid circulation of 2.5 million subscribers, which includes print as well. The number of cancellations continued to grow Monday afternoon.
The only true competitor is GCP, and Google is trash company too.
Azure, oracle, digital ocean etc. there’s 100s of providers of varying sizes.
No way in hell you’re trying to compare digital ocean to GCP or AWS.
There are technologies that are entirely out of reach until you get to a certain size. Just because you can provision a VM for someone who gives you a credit card doesn’t make you top tier cloud provider.
And azure comes close, but from a technical perspective their offerings are not competitive. Like it’s 2024 and they still don’t have s3 support.
