Last time I checked someone stole all their data and it was only 300TB.

Data is cheap. Even cheaper when its peer to peer.

You're talking to non -tech nerds about something that usually only tech nerds are familiar with.

Just like on Reddit you're going to get downvoted because people don't understand. Lemmy is effectively the same in that regard.

Just having data is cheap. Actually serving that data up in a meaningful way is expensive as fuck.

Just don't use vercel, bro.
