Backblaze B2 + Cloudflare = free outbound transfer (bandwidth alliance). Making objects in S3 publicly available and then complaining about their extortionate bandwidth charges is...silly.
If you try to serve a petabyte of binary data a month through Cloudflare, they're going to shut you down. S3 is very expensive, but averaging 4 gigabits 24x7 is not going to be cheap anywhere.

A normal upstream (if you were in a colo or some sort of DC) will charge you about $0.50 per meg. So, 4gbps would cost you... $200/mo. [1]
I think people don't realize just how much more expensive IaaS providers are. We're literally talking orders of magnitude.

I don't have high hopes for his business prospects if this is how he handles one of the richest companies in the world clearly having a high need for something his company offers. Maybe spend less time on Twitter and more on your business model?

The big cloud providers are very expensive, but you're getting impeccable bandwidth. Low packet loss, burst what you want even in peak times, fast transit worldwide, minimal variability.
What most people actually don't realize is that they're making that tradeoff implicitly. You're not being ripped off if you need all of these things, but if it's overkill you can get much cheaper bandwidth elsewhere.
Why can't they use cloudfront?

Amazon has the ability to charge the requester. Pass the buck on.
i dont think this works on public files though, does it?
