Yeah it’s not like services make the cancellation process super difficult. It’s like mafia style extortion. They make this type of stuff so difficult, I like to waste their time too, and make sure it involves wasting so many of their employees time, which they have to pay for.

I'm similarly skeptical it's a genuine outage given how so much stuff nowadays is done with cloud computing which enables dynamic on-demand procurement of server resources. Or whatever the correct terminology is to describe that.
