"The promise of the cloud was that you don't need local storage, because Someone Else will remember things for you ..."

Agreed. And that promise has been fulfilled - although it costs more than nothing and you need to do your homework.

You know these providers are proven bad actors. You know their business model(s) are antagonistic to your goals. You also know there are stable, time-tested alternatives.

What did you think was going to happen here ?

I would say at least partially aligned with your goals otherwise why would you use them in the first place?

They’re unaligned with rsync.net’s goal of getting people to pay for services.

Edit: to pay a minimum of $12/month??
