History surely has a way to repeat itself, it's almost inevitable..

  Yeah, man, it repeats itself every few weeks for me "OK, here's a half-assed SaaS that will do most of what I want for $10/month, or I can cobble together my own half-assed solution that will do everything I want for 'free' (~$1000's worth of my own time more than a few years of the SaaS) ... which to choose..." I don't really trust external businesses to get streaming video of the inside of my house, and I don't trust them to monitor my kid. But am I going to do a better job in a weekend? Hmm...

  The difference in this case is that Dropbox offered (and still offers) a free tier, not a $400 initial purchase followed by a surprise subscription.
