Your original statement was that “lots of people lost billions” which seems patently absurd taken literally.
Now you’ve scaled it down to a collective loss of income across all companies impacted in the billions, which is at least plausible, but you can hardly blame people for treating your original statement less than seriously.
billions lost either way regardless of how you interpret it, and I expect Fastly to have a good reason as to why these popular clients and websites should continue paying for this CDN service.
I look forward to this extremely detailed post mortem from them.
