Just read the features of the pro version: "1 year of post storage, up to 1000 posts per feed"

I totally forgot Google Reader would store feeds forever, so you could search back in time. That was actually an amazing feature.

"1 year/1000 posts" refers only to unread posts, which makes sense to me. If you have thousands of unread posts, chances are you don't care that much about them.

I'm not sure what their policy on read posts is. I'm a premium user and a quick search shows up a (read, but not liked or shared) post from 2011. It says here that liked and shared posts are stored forever:

Feature which is still available to those who self host :) My TinyTinyRSS database has 359533 posts stored, taking a whooping 559MB. I frankly don't get why they have such low limits to paying customers. Storing a whole 1GB on S3 would cost them just 3¢ of the monthly $3. Unless they also scrape images from posts...?
