    Let me guess, that's crypto value, because no one in their sane mind would pay $60K in real money for crude, combinational images. I hope this, and Bored Ape Yacht Club still exist…

    People can work for passion, some times even contrary to their own self interests, especially when you're starting your career. You hopefully grow out of it when you become establi…

    Guess they should stop whining then. I can't see why is that a problem, maybe they'd like to pay less so they can pay more themselves?

    If only there were more locations with better infrastructure for such data center... Oh, right! This one was cheaper because it wasn't ready. Cheaper is gooder for business.
