How are you hitting that pricing? S3 "Glacier Deep Archive"? Standard S3 is $23/TB/mo. Backblaze B2 is $6/TB/mo. S3 Glacier Instant or Flexible Retrieval is about $4/TB/mo. S3 Glacier Deep Archive is about $1/TB/mo. I take it you have ~2TB in deep archive? I have 5TB in Backblaze and I've been meaning to prune it way down. Edit: these are raw storage costs and I neglected transfer. Very curious as my sibling comment mentioned it.

Yup, deep archive on <2TB, which is more content than most people watch in a lifetime. I mostly store content in 1080p as my vision is not good enough to notice the improvement at 4K.

  > more content than most people watch in a lifetime The average person watches more than 3 hours of TV/video per day, and 1 gigabyte per hour is on the low end of 1080p quality. Multiply those together and you'd need 1TB per year. 5TB per year of higher quality 1080p wouldn't be an outlier.

    Holy crap! I watch like, maybe a couple of movies a month and two or three miniseries a year? Is that including ads too? And sports/news? EDIT: Wait, are these "average person" or "average American?"

For china I'm seeing a bit over two and a half hours of TV in 2009, and more recently a bit over one and a half hours TV plus a bit over half an hour of streaming. Yes it includes ads, sports, and news. Personally I don't watch a lot of actual TV but I have youtube or twitch on half the time.
