## Quote — verbatim

> The majority of the revenue that comes to the centralized cloud providers happen to be from these value-added services. It's like burgers and fries model. Give you cheap compute, but we make money on the value-added services. And these value-added services are usually white-labeled open-source projects.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Google Dataproc vs. Databricks Spark example; argues a decentralized network has better incentives to attract open-source projects than hyperscalers do.
