The point is that a subscription with a 2TB harddrive is much more expensive than a subscription with a 100GB harddrive.

I just want a to pay a fair price. Not a price based on ungrounded assumptions.

It's like going to a restaurant where the food is cheap but the drinks are crazy expensive.

Whatever disk capacity you buy your data sits on multiple disks running 24/7. It costs electricity + maintenance when disks break.

If you want a fixed price you have to do it your self. It will be cheaper, but less safe, less accessible and more involved.

Again, I totally understand this. What I don't understand is the huge price difference.
