Tarsnap is not expensive at all for its target audience: folks with highly compressible data. For any data that's not very compressible, it's super costly.
Example, if you are into photography it's not uncommon to generate hundreds of GBs of files _per year_. Only in 2020, I generated over 200GB of photographs. Putting that on Tarsnap would cost me about $60/month. In 5 years time, I could be paying upto $4000/yr. Tiered services like B2 would cost an order of magnitude less.
