Instagram by Meta has started using user generated content for their training data. Naturally users are upset about this and are flocking to a new platform named Cara made by an artist which has principle and are actively fighting for artist copyright. Cara uses Vercel to host their platform. The problem is that the sudden influx of users means bigger bills to pay to handle those traffic (I think they are billed around ~$96k). As of now, it is unclear how they will proceed to pay the bills. The creator of Cara didn’t want to compromise his stance by accepting any money willy-nilly, but also acknowledged that angel investors are not easy to find.
