"Thousands of euros" is peanuts. It's like a couple of days of work.

The market is a bit different than CA, "thousands of euros" can buy man-months of work (especially for junior devs), not a couple days.

And thousands includes hundreds of thousands, which is indeed the case here.

Thousands also includes thousands of thousands or tens of thousands of thousands.
