I'm more interested in how they did this:

> Not a home connection, just google abuse. GCE has ~40Gbit to each server and >400Gbit peering with amazon

It sounds like they paid GCE for 900TB of data transfer?

[modusoperandi]

There's no charge for ingress traffic. They spin up an instance in GCE and use youtube-dl or something else to scrape the site directly into an "unlimited" drive account (which is also free to transfer into).
