Imagine the world we'd live in if productivity wasn't wasted of performative bs

Vercel was already like a landlord leeching off of the closed ecosystem that they had built for next.js
I think that this might be a real nail in the coffin for vercel I suppose but I am at the same time worried about the projects that Vercel seemingly took like nuxt/sveltekit/next which might all have a huge impact if vercel really goes under the bus / bankrupts? (Highly unlikely but you never know the boycotts)
Its just something really unethical to pick sides in a conflict of the side of killing children... I don't really know why he would do something like this which can cause so much backlash / boycott that can really just kill his company.
I am never using vercel again and I genuinely prefer cloudflare or even netlify/railway/sevalia/render etc. could be good and the so many other providers that offer the same thing.
Edit: Another good thing might be to leave serverless altogether and to get servers from hetzner could be something really cool too.
I have found that lightning.ai has a 4gb free cpu that I use sometimes to do some stuff in cloud too sometimes and I don't think that there is a limit to how much you can use and there were definitely some people online that I met that were abusing this a lot by making 10-20 accounts on lightning and I was just sad knowing that it might lead to losing the free thing which I deeply cherish of sometimes.

What is performative about this? Not wanting to spend your money on someone that gloats online about meeting with a wanted war criminal is not performative at all.
