This is kind of evil but I cannot look at Cohost's financials without my brain screaming at me that they're spending 5k a month on CDN
costs out of a moral disagreement with Cloudflare's executive team.
They're losing 14k a month and their goal is to "bring the deficit down below $10k" (quote taken out of context I'm sorry) and they're spending 5k a month on CDN fees after moving off of a free Cloudflare plan. Someone help me budget this.
The kicker is that it was a free Cloudflare plan. Like man you're really sticking it to Cloudflare by not not paying them anymore.
Edit (9:08pm): I don't even know if this is up to date; it might not be true anymore. The H1 2023 report showed $10k in hosting/operations costs and expenses of $46k / month. The most recent report shows $34k in expenses (not broken down). So they've cut expenses somewhere. I don't think this is the real issue it's just funny.
