It never ceases to amaze me that people pay that much for transfer. It's one tenth the price on DigitalOcean and it isn't like this is comparing two different types of things.

If you have data that you're unlikely to need to access (i.e. backups), not many providers can compete with Deep Archive storage pricing.
4TB on S3 Deep Archive: $3.96/mo to store, $360 to restore and download over the internet 4TB on B2: $20/mo to store, $40 to download 4TB on Digital Ocean: $80/mo to store, $30 to download
Yes, it feels almost extortionary to have to pay that much to get your data out of AWS. But depending how long you store data for, it can end up being the cheaper option: you're just gambling on how likely you are to actually need to download it.

DO is incredibly limited in terms of products compared to AWS.
Yes but this is just data storage. I get it if you need to be on network, yadda, yadda, but so many people just senselessly use S3 and rack up bills that are easily avoidable.
Digital Ocean Spaces doesn't have the same durability designs of S3. Or performance in terms of TPS. It's not apples to apples.
DO is great for small personal projects, but, I wouldn't run a fortune 500 company on it.
