I don’t understand. It’s not like Big Tech or anyone using their services is just hopping on the internet for free, right? Just like any other business, you use your profits to expand. Or is there something I’m missing?
wait… you expected them to “provide” something to the people who give them money?
These are ISP’s, they don’t do that here. (Re: the $400 billion they already got to build the infrastructure, that they didn’t build and took anyway)
Nope, they’re literally bitching because their customers are actually using the service they pay the isp for.
