Jesus Amazon is a big enough company they should be doing their own hosting not using AWS.

They're big enough to be a utility and be nationalized!

I was confused too, but I'm still glad you didn't add the /s because that always kills the joke.

I don't always downvote posts that use /s, but I do always downvote posts that complain about someone not using it.

Sarcasm is ok but deadpan is where it's at.

This is the take. Let people communicate however they want, sarcasm indicator or not; it's the insisting that others follow the convention you prefer which I find actually bothersome

Once upon a time they insisted that Amazon had independent decision making on their providers when they were needing new infrastructure and they "always decided that AWS suited them best."

Shockingly (/s), they stopped making that claim right about the same time they started admitting that their biggest users are all under Private Pricing Agreements.
