My CDN bill recently went from about $5 a month to over $200. Turned out it was Tictok’s spider relentlessly scraping the same content over and over again.

It was ignoring robots.txt. In the end I just had to ban their user agent in the CDN config.

I wish premium would stop trying to add more stuff. I only want ad free videos, just do that, rather than adding loads of crap no one wants and then charging more because of the ‘increased value’.

please take the time to absorb the magnitude and importance of what we’re all a part of

For anyone wanting a deep dive into how much of a scum bag this guy and his brother are then I can highly recommend the recent series on YouTube by ‘Common Sense Skeptic’ https://youtube.com/@commonsenseskeptic?si=AqKSiA55JOeTJeRo

I’d recommend anyone interested in the Voyager program to check out “It’s Quieter in the Twilight”. A film about the people involved in the project and how they’ve dedicated their lives to make it happen.

Yeah. There must be tons of places that would choose Slack, or another alternative, over Teams if they weren’t getting Teams bundled into a piece they were already paying.

Plus all the energy used in developing the feature in the first place. What a crock.
