    Like coffee. It might cost them 1¢ a pot… It might cost them $1200 up front and $60 a month for their coffee makers

      Not like coffee. Your average person simply can’t consume coffee beyond the average at any meaningful rate. We both know that internet usage can go from close to nothing to 100TB of data depending on the user.

      Internet isn’t like coffee, it’s not that simple.

        There are people basically immune to caffeine. There are extreme caffeine addicts. I can drink two pots myself, and I’m extremely sensitive to caffeine

        The metaphor works because it doesn’t matter how much coffee you drink - it matters how fast you drink it. And that’s a limit set by the business - the size of the cups and how quickly they’re refilled

        At this point, I feel like you’re not even trying to understand what I’m saying…
