how do you exactly fallback to common crawl? isn't the cost to even hold and query common crawl insane?

With AWS Athena, you can query the contents of someone else’s public S3 bucket. You pay per read, but if you craft your query the right way then it’s very inexpensive. Each query I run only scans about 1MB of data.
