Webflow got caught with its hand in the cookie jar and wants to settle disputes quietly.

[The customer] said that Webflow’s sales representatives were uncooperative when asked for more details. He quoted a sales rep saying, “No because you’ll tweet about it.”

Wow, that says a lot about how Webflow views its own policies.

He quoted a sales rep saying, “No because you’ll tweet about it.”

'Well, if you thought I was going to tweet about your shitty policies, what makes you think I won't tweet about your shitty customer service behavior?'

What stupid fucking reasoning...

Sounds like the sales guy was also pissed off about their policies lol. No way they'd give an answer like that if they weren't 😂

a price from 2020 (±3 years ?) ... "Amazon Web Services (AWS): $0.09 per GB (first 10 TB)" so, hummm, that is about $90/TeraBytes transfer ... so about $180/ 2 TeraBytes transfered ...
(unless there is a confusion between the monthly counter and the bandwidth that is measured in Giga bits per second)

And AWS is ridiculously expensive compared to a lot of the other options.

What is Webflow? It sounds expensive.

Visual designer for websites. There are many others like it. I used webflow for multiple projects and really enjoyed it. Haven't touched it for a couple years though. Once I ran out of commercial projects to use it for, I couldn't afford to keep it for personal use.

Yeah. Yesterday i came across a webpage using Adobe Experience Manager. Never heard of it.

Btw, w3techs.com/sites is pretty nice!

11 hours of 500mbps bandwidth usage.

It's like half a Call of Duty these days.

Complete nonsense.
