It’s like @meir went to a fancy steakhouse, but only needed a cheap burger.
He didn’t want the valet service out front, or the well-decorated venue, or attentive waitstaff, or world-class chef, or prime cuts of meat. And although he chose a service that didn’t meet his needs… he’s now complaining that the prices should be lower for everyone… “because it’s still just beef”.
If someone doesn’t need S3, or georedundancy, or SOC2 or 11 9’s… they won’t use Storj. Bunny or Petabox would love their business! We’ve all seen the same math and understand that even with the current payout changes Storj will just barely be in the black (after bleeding for years). I don’t see where else they can cut. Does anyone?
I hope Select helps improve their finances. And that they keep looking for higher-value services to offer. Because the lowest-price market is crowded, and cutthroat, and not where they should be competing.
