That is just Instagram, with photos. Imagine Youtube.

And again I have been saying this since ~2015/16, we dont have any meaningful roadmap for cost reduction on storage, whether that is Hot as in NAND, Bulk as in HDD, or Cold as in Optical Disc. I dont see 2TB SSD dropping below $100 in next 5 years, or 10TB HDD below $120.

Remember when Google promise infinite Gmail storage?

Then maybe we could:

- stop encouraging users to post shit just so we can track them

- stop tracking them which requires many data points and a lot of processing power (for 0 benefit for the user or society at large)

- stop the copyright non-sense and actually use hyperlinks instead of reuploading the same content 500 times across platforms? maybe even do content-addressed storage (Bittorrent/IPFS) who knows?
