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::Some tech is getting pricier and looking a lot like the older services it was supposed to beat. From video streaming to ride-hailing and cloud computing.
It’s the bang for you buck situation in some limited circumstances, but not the way most people are using it.
It’s not “some limited circumstances” though. The cost of an equivalent server and setup to host locally for even a tiny website or service is significantly higher than running on the cloud even for a few years.
