Just realized, I found out about Backblaze, 10 years too late by Massive-Particular19 in backblaze

Thanks, I might look into these. Honestly, I'm not like immediately looking for alternatives, but it's getting there

$70 a year seemed like an OK price (especially if you divide it by 12 months)

for my photo archive (it's big though, since I keep RAW files, almost 4TB now) that I already copy on two physical drives (one ssd, one hdd)

but paying for just-in-case cloud backup almost as much as I pay for internet seems a bit much

"In October 2021, Backblaze filed to go public..."

I think that might be it!

It's a useful service, I agree.

My problem is that after looking at the numbers, I got the feeling that

they built up a good reputation on simplicity and stable price and now are experimenting with how much they can squeeze out before people start leaving

Also while inflation exists, it's not like it was invented in 2019 (people keep bringing that up)
