I don't think the article indicates that storage isn't getting cheaper. Equally possible is that amazon's S3 margins are getting better. For companies like Facebook and YouTube it is possible that they're not affected in the same way that a regular S3 customer would be.

> Equally possible is that amazon's S3 margins are getting better. Which is acceptable if they're providing better value in features. From casually looking around it seems that Backblaze's B2 is much cheaper, but doesn't have a good story around reliability, namely uptime guarantees and simple multi-region redundancy. If Backblaze could match AWS in this regard, and with their Bandwidth Alliance with Cloudflare, they could provide better downward pressure on pricing.
