$100/mo for absolutely unlimited is still an incredible bargain. $20/mo is in the neighborhood of almost free.
- salawat 4y ago$20/mo x 12 months = $240 annually. $240 annual x 75 years = $18000 Almost free huh? $12000 a year x 75 = $90000 If I could pay that in and lock it in for the duration, maybe I'd consider that, but no one is going to let you do that. Y'all got some funny notions on "Free". Then there's the whole issue of "What if Google gets bored?"
- shiftpgdn 4y agoWhere did the $12,000/year come in?
- ianburrell 4y agoI think they messed up $240/yr * 5 people. Which is $1200/yr. Or $100/month * 12.
- salawat 4y agoFack. $1200 a year x 75 years should be $90000 lifetime..
- hungryforcodes 4y agoWhy 75 years?
- salawat 4y agoPrevious average lifespan of a human being. Just needed a number to stop the analysis at. The one that comes bundled with the implication "Welp, I'm dead now" felt appropriate given that if you are dead, and the data is too hard to access, probate will likely be the end of your data storage foray. Any longer, and you're most certainly talking organizational scale preservation efforts.
- Dylan16807 4y agoA hundred dollars a month is only an incredible bargain if you have huge amounts of data. The average person could buy a $100 external drive and replace it every five years, and that would be enough.
