yeah, see? you don't believe me.

lol.

what you're actually saying, from the comfort of your aeron chair in an air conditioned office and not in the middle of a toxic datacenter, is "just outcompete amazon against a totally brainwashed, cost inelastic customer base who already fucking hates you out the gate since choosing against amazon is a huge career risk".

No need to be snarky/insulting here. It was just that your explanation purely on prices being either too low or too high seems incomplete. It's not clear why there wasn't a middle ground.

On the other hand, not being able to compete against the scale of major cloud providers makes sense. It's just not clear how that's related to you starting out with prices that were too low, for example.
