...and don't tell me you don't get "spam" from AWS users. Only GCP is doing more policing, but as a dev I'd be wary of using them of fear of being labeled "suspicious" because some weirder scraping usage patterns or whatever.
I've setup a rule to simply drop mail from DO IP addresses, no legit mail ever comes from DO.
Sending a spam complaint to DO will do nothing more than verify to spammers that you are a good target.
If DO wants a better reputation then they can earn one.
> DO will simply pass my complaint on to the spammer
Again, as a DO customer I want to be able to see any complains fired against me. Point in plus for them from the perspective of a potential customer.
...you seem to misunderstand what the desired attributes of a cloud provider are. Besides at most having marginally more spam in the world, how you seem to say the ideal cloud provider should behave is really worse for everyone. You're playing a "oh but think of the children" argument but with "spam" recipients instead of the children so it's hard to have any sympathy for such malicious reasoning.
(And if the extra profit they get from hosting spammers results in slightly lower prices for me then I'm glad to profit. It's about sending spam, not firing missiles or dropping bombs. Again, whatever.)
Its fine if you want to watch the world burn for your own benefit. Not all of us do care to see that.
You should take a look at Verizon's 2022 Data Breach Investigation Report. https://www.verizon.com/business/resources/reports/dbir/2022...
https://www.verizon.com/business/resources/reports/dbir/2022...
"82% of breaches involved a human element"
"66% of breaches involved Phishing, Stolen credentials and/or Ransomware."

We'll see how much you shrug when it happens to you.
