Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

MODERATORS
I used to use Backblaze before getting a NAS, and they were always very reasonably priced.
20% just sounds pretty harsh all at once. It's not like someone can just migrate many TB of data to a different service overnight. And it's $1 x #TB x every month. It adds up quick, unfortunately.
I'm still looking for a "cheap" cloud storage once my idrive e2 promo period ends. At some point, it's just going to be more affordable to set up another nas somewhere, especially with Synology's new full system backup with block-level incremental backup.
