    I know you will not like my response and would not agree to it. I am not defending big companies, but having or hosting the data is the easy and cheapest part. Actually ingesting and training it is the hardest and most resource consuming. If it was that easy I would have done it at home and not have to rely on a cloud service, but since I tried and realized I would need at least a $2000 system to get anything useful I chose to pay a 5$ monthly fee. Compared to what it needs to run something that doesn’t just give a good output but a productive output would have cost me magnitudes more than $2000. So they are not just freeloading on our work. The real issue I would agree on and defend would be resource consumption like electricity and water.
