Not being critical of the service, but can someone help me understand here? From what i understand pricing seems the same as S3, except cheaper. So same model, just cheaper?
I say that because the text makes me think "amazing, revolutionary" but when it's the same model i feel i'm missing something. Based on it's pricing page, this service seems mostly a big deal when compared to non-AWS services which have minimums (i didn't even know B2 had that, so TIL), correct?
I suppose it also front-loads the cost, relative to AWS S3. Ie i pay $50 now, and then no monthly fees until i run out of funds again? Which might be 5yr, might be 6mo, just depends on my usage - right?
It's a neat model. I'll probably use it on the pricing alone. Though my needs download files moderately frequently, so we'll see if it ends up being good for me. I'd like to see if their UI gives me a roadmap on pricing, or better yet alerts, so i have estimated alerts on when i need to re-up my subscription.
Calling it unlimited downloads/storage though feels weird. I mean sure, it is, but so is everyone by that metric no?
Still, neat though :)
