But storage was never the real problem. Hard drives are cheap. The problem is that Torba never figured out how to monetize his platform full of Boomers well enough to pay a team of full time developers. One can only buy so many pillows and coffee subscriptions. Musk is having trouble and he has the biggest twitter-like site out there. Poor @alex has to pretend to be a vegan to scare people away from his instance to keep the bills down.
