Digital Ocean now and Linode in the past have been considered viable providers at the companies I've worked with. Never have I ever heard the same about this company.

Do you have an interest in this company or something? Oddly passive aggressive comment.



Vultr is pretty well known amongst the small technically innovative "cloud" hosting companies, and IMO has better offerings than DO. They also have a peering agreement with Backblaze and Cloudflare; no transfer costs between any of the three.


No financial ties, just annoyed by the mob that comes out of the woodwork to pick apart every shitty dark pattern as if that's evidence that this company is overtly malicious, instead of just being stuck in the middle of an accidental PR nightmare.

It is proof of that though. Becouse employing dark patterns is being overtly malicious for us who "see through" dark patterns.

Dark patterns mostly work due to the victim not understanding them, so it makes sense to point them out.
