I laughed :)
- Oh goodness, why is this so funny? lol.
- Yay!
Figure 1: Human discovers that hosting a web service for hundreds of thousands of users is expensive.
Hetzner crowd says hi!
- All the VPSs I run are on hetzner, lol.
  I’m trying out their new ARM servers, those are fun.
Oracle free tier, 4arm cores, 200gb storage, 24gb ram, zero money's spent
- Oracle is all fun and games until they lose your instance’s IP or data and don’t give it back because you’re a free tier freeloader.
  
  That sounds like the bitter expression of regret and experience.

  I got a bunch of servers on OCI, but I'd never rely on it heavily without a backup plan or lack of attachment

  It's a great deal, if you stay small, the idea is a loss leader, they temp you in and you set up your service, then when you need to scale up, they charge the extras.
I host mine on my home wifi
- I'm in your walls
  
  I thought that was a rat colony
Why don't you migrate to cheaper providers like Hetzner? I mean AWS is extremely expensive for what they are and I am pretty sure there are hundreds of people out here who will willingly help you set it up.
