          AWS is getting their money regardless. The front end doesn’t matter, if the data/infrastructure is hosted on the backend with aws, they get paid for usage and the data (like the spice) must flow. I suppose by circumventing the website’s frontend you hurt that site’s bottom line by making them incur costs from AWS while not being able to monetize your visit. Which is at least something.
