"static site" doesn't necessarily mean "small". It would be easy to go way over 1Mb with a couple of pictures.

at 60MB it is still one million downloads

  • I'm not trying to justify netlify, because it's pretty obvious all cloud providers have vile intentions here (even though they pretend otherwise): it's obvious that total majority of use cases for such platforms are toy or small-scale projects, and literally everyone in this market would prefer their website being shut down, rather than getting $100K (or even $5K) bill, BUT…

    1 million downloads (= visits) is nothing for "going viral overnight"
