Thank you for telling me about my own personal experience which you know nothing about. I guess if it didn't happen to you personally then it just didn't happen, right?
LOL, I have no dog in the fight. I just think that if you're going to call something a "pump and dump scheme" that gave you "terrible IO performance" when practically nobody else has such issues, you might want to add a bit more information. Maybe try helping someone who has your similar conditions where DO is not the best way to go.
That their support organization does not care about actually supporting the product is very telling to me. Especially when you have somebody willing to spend $160/mo or more and you basically tell them to 'go away'.
That's definitely a negative and I appreciate you sharing the anecdote, but it's still an awfully big leap from one bad support experience to criminal enterprise.
It isn't, but I'm not trying to negate the experience of anybody else either. If you had good luck with them then great, that is your experience. But don't come and tell me that what happened to me is invalid or didn't happen. Sorry, I do not keep exhaustive benchmarks for every poor product that I decide not to use. I can tell you that it was taking MINUTES to open and read the contents of a file that took seconds on AWS and my local development machine.
