And after 10 years, you either have nothing, or an old synology (or similar) + enough saved up for a new one. Same reason I stopped netflix at al. Imagine you're 75, retired, you either have a massive collection of films (digital) or .. nothing.

At one point I was running my own nextcloud server at home and realized that I am paying more in electricity costs to keep it running than google drive costs. After uploading all of my personal data (no tv shows, etc) I only have about 50GB of data which costs me almost nothing to store and it means I don't have to worry about backups, hardware failures, hacking, etc.
