Hey xeladu,
First and foremost, thanks for hearing my side of the story. To be honest, I did lose faith after the first email I received from RapidAPI Support, regarding my potential loss of $8872.
But, I don’t see these recent events from a financial perspective only. I’m a well-paid software engineer and a technical writer, and I don’t mind paying a bit extra on top of my existing server costs.
For me, it was more about feeling scammed, helpless, and angry simultaneously. Server costs are insignificant here.
Fortunately, this article caught the eyes of the right people in the industry and the CEO of RapidAPI, Iddo Gino, personally apologized for their mess up.
Although, I did not get any monetary compensation for my troubles :(
