Discussion on Commercial Storage Node Operator Program

Just came across this video posted a few hours ago.

And I must say it doesn’t help alleviate my worries. Most of it is just a great way to promote Storj, but the sentence “Storj partners with datacenters and companies all around the world to put unused capacity to work” bothers me. What about us home node operators then? Besides, the video lists the current pricing for the public network, so which is this talking about?

This is exactly the kind of focus shift I was worried about and I think it’s also a little dishonest to customers to only mention datacenters and companies, despite storing a lot of data on consumer home systems. I understand that that might be an easier sell for some customers, but the combination between public network pricing and what seems like more a commercial network nodes description doesn’t sit quite right with me.
