Many startups sell and work closely with partners earlier in their lifecycle before their platforms are ready for the mainstream. OP was asking about access to lots of low cost CPUs for an application that could be a good fit, so I posted a casual one-liner. Massive is akin to SETI@Home but with a slightly more general SDK, and which complies with privacy, security and opt-in requirements from the major AV companies.

I personally think it's awesome to have another way to monetize that isn't ads or subscriptions, both of which have downsides to users and don't fit every type of application.

You don't have to agree, but I'd *kindly* ask to be afforded the same respect I'd give you, and which frankly I personally deserve.

After repeatedly wasting people's time, on purpose, you deserve as much respect as you're getting.

None at all.
