To be fair-- and sorry to DigitalOcean guys that are reading this, but this is honest feedback-- that ad really bugs me. It's got the "rockstar-itus." It's hard to pin down why that feels condescending, but it does.

I hear really good things about the service, though, so kudos to DigitalOcean for that.

I think the issue is that the ads "read" so unauthentically compared to the very positive experience I've had with DO and their wonderful setup tools, documentation, etc.

while the ads are over the top, the core message of "configure how many of those, and how much of that etc" did kind of draw me in.
