Tech's broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap. (www.businessinsider.com)

Is this true for cloud in general or only for platforms like Google Cloud, AWS, etc. who offer managed services? What if you were using something like Hetzner or OVH where you only get the bare minimum cloud VPS and you have to bootstrap them yourself?

oh i think in general it applies to the big 3, but it may extend to others as well, but i've only seen the insane costs from AWS and GCP personally
