I used to work at DigitalOcean. Can confirm we didn't think a lot about Linode. We saw AWS as the real competitor. If there was someone in the VPS market we respected and tried to emulate it would have been OVH, not Linode.
I think the cool part is that that you could do all of this stuff and not have to worry about any of the infrastructure.
The node package only works inside of the hosting environment. You're paying that much money for everything to be hosted. It says in the docs that there's no local development environment.
Startups that sell things don't need as much traffic to make the same amount of money. Dropbox & Airbnb should be a lot higher than Scribd. Also, the list is missing Shoptiques.

(function drain() {
var links = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
var link = links[i];
var href = document.getElementsByTagName('a')[i].getAttribute('href');
if (href) {
href = href.replace('tag=braipick-20', '')
}
link.setAttribute('href', href);
};
