If Vercel is working for the "impacted businesses" so much then why aren't they charging them for the hours worked entrenching their market position and busting their business model critics? Why send the bill for that time to him if it's not in ultimate service of him? He rightly sees through their incorrect billing stance. Seems like Vercel takes sides in every industry so you better hope your business has no impact on any other if you go with them.

We need little guys out there correcting the record of these "elusive content" publishers trying to claim exclusive access is all they offer when moments before it was available for free to anyone listening. He just proves they value bot access more than human audience. Maybe he does to, maybe he only wants bots to access his website. Vercel says no, only big business can get away with that freedom to choose one's audience makeup.
