Well, it's very easy to be the armchair expert and say how much better you'd do it. It's another thing entirely to actually do it. You are free to prove how smart and competent you are by showing him how to do better.

In any case, it's irrelevant to the discussion. Like I said, if people are only giving him the money to cover the hardware costs, even if it was brought down the cost to zero he would still be working for free to all the 16k users of the instance.
