    Oh no comparison! Mines like 10 to 50 gb. I assume reddit’s is in high terabytes.

    The point is cloud services charge for data leaving storage over networks.

    Just guessing, and I’m not gonna RTFM and do the math, but for “cold line” storage a static petabyte would be maybe hundreds of dollars/mo max. That’s noise to them.
