I hope they don't bet too much on AI, but I do think they deserve to grow more as a cloud provider, they need to focus strongly on following up on people's complaints about their existing services. I have seen many threads of people with complaints about their S3 compatible storage being very limited in its design, and potentially wildly insecure. If they are serous enough to be asking for roughly a billion dollars, they should really consider fixing up their current offering either first or at the same time. It's only a matter of time before some giant scandal has customers running away.
I say this having used DO since... 2012?
