Corpos suck ass and have no respect for their workers, but revenue is pretty useless for guaging a company’s financial health. Companies tanking and going out of business often have hundreds of millions until billions of revenue, while still being a hundreds of millions in negative.

I think cloudflare is also making an alternative (or has already), but it is a tough problem.
