Update 1: This is an issue with cloudflare, we are having issues with the account that hosts the site, we are contacting cloudflare support about the issue.

Update 2: we have switched s3 providers and images should be working again, older images may be missing, we will have to do a merge with the old s3 storage backup into the new provider, we plan to do this soon, but all new images will work as expected, sorry for the issues and thanks for your patience and kindness while we were working on the fix

Nobody replaces images with ads in eg S3 buckets? If the owner stops paying they just disappear.

Nobody replaces images with ads in eg S3 buckets yet.

It's an inevitable result of enshittification. Provide a service, get users hooked, extract as much wealth as possible from them, when you can't extract any more without them leaving extract information from them, sell it to advertisers, extract as much wealth as possible from them, in part by turning as much of your service as possible into ads.

And we're talking amazon here. You know they'll be amongst the first three big companies to do it (alphabet's gonna be first, of course, they're already doing it with google search results, but amazon isn't any better, just less ad focused for now).

S3 is a paid service though. They can't just go mess around with their customer data. Most enterprises demand really strong protections (especially due to things like GDPR)

And most S3 buckets aren't accessed directly by the user. If the files are being deleted the webserver in front will know that and won't try to serve them anymore.

I totally agree enshittification is a thing but it's more something that applies to business to consumer stuff than business to business. And S3 is squarely in the latter category.

If Amazon would replace the content of our work's S3 buckets with ads we will be on azure a few days later for sure. And there will probably be a heavy lawsuit coming.

Ah, yeah, microsoft, the other one of the first three companies that'll try to do this.

(They're already messing with windows and 365, also paid products, so they'll end up messing with azure too sooner rather than later.)

And there will probably be a heavy lawsuit coming.

Sure, and the EU will probably fine them into not doing it here, if we haven't kicked them out and replaced them with something local yet.

The rest of the world will probably be screwed, though.

But no, seriously, I do envy your faith in humanity.

Treasure it. It won't last, tragically.

As long as it's a direct link to s3, for now. As soon as it's a private domain it's entirely possible to replace requests
