For something called "with Gnuplot", I was expecting it to be just as much a gnuplot tutorial, or at least a "show off" of how to code plots using gnuplot.
But other than that, it was a really nice analysis.
Maybe the buyers started migrating to IPv6 when they saw how expensive IPv4 addresses are and there is a delay before they actually migrate. IPv4 addresses are way more expensive than I thought, upwards of $60 per address, jeez...
At 5% roi though, even $60 an address would be $3 a year. Address owners typically charge far more -- Amazon for example charges $43 an address per year.

IPv6 is now up to 49% [1] - it's possible that there's just less demand for IPv4 addresses.
My best guess is that the public clouds stopped expanding after the end of ZIRP because startups vanished overnight and demand dried up.

GPU instances don't need public IP addresses.

Pure speculation but could be at the end of zirp companies sold off IP assets / bankruptcy sales is depressing price.

My favourite part of this is the part where gnuplot is barely mentioned and no code is shown for generating those graphs.

What is the data source?

The start of the linked post says:

So I assume either by scraping https://www.ipv4.global/ or from readily prepared downloads of data from them. Haven’t looked around the site to see if there is any prepared data downloads available.
But other than that, it was a really nice analysis.
I think it is fine to hide the source code for it, it is a tutorial of sorts.
Honestly I love seeing org-mode and babel, whenever possible.
