It's also important people understand it's the same as "the cloud".

That's how the rollout started: "why pay for a hard drive when you can have it anywhere"?

Too many people fell for that, so the corps bought up all the hard drives, now storage is more expensive than when "the cloud" rolled out

They're using startup accounting against us, they'll buy up all the storage/compute power so consumers have no option but to go thru them.

The only way to win is wide scale boycotts till their investors give up. Don't use anything you don't own to store data.
