but... often the cost of scrubbing includes the cost of transit
to/from the remote provider, which is why 'cheapest' only counts for
an entire process, NOT for 'lookie, I bought the service!'.
either way, folks will learn one way or the other which works for them.
I couldn't agree with you more - often times there are unintended costs,
for example, the operational burden of moving your advertisements
towards the provider who offers a scrubbing service...
Also the more complex it is to use a particular service, the more likely
you are to have indirect costs in terms of lost revenue during the outage.
All of these things should be properly vetted well in advance, and the
additional operational burden should also be factored into the pricing
equation. Unfortunately, all too often these additional things aren't
factored by the bean counters until it's too late.
