I need to write a bot that posts this every time a new free online storage sites pop up on HN:

The only compelling aspect of the offering is the promise of free storage. I don't see a dollar sign anywhere on the site, so I don't understand how they intend to keep that promise for very long. I refuse to sign up for a product, much less take the time to integrate it into my workflow, without knowing that it will be around for longer than a few months.

Hey Martin, We are planning to stay alive for 100 years this is a very long term play. We are planning to kill the OS by letting users execute any file type in the cloud: PSDs, AI, you name it, open, edit, save and publish. The way we will make money is from enterprise (which we got already some clients) and from apps that will be built on top of Thirsty. We don't believe that people should be charged for backup because it complicates things: data plans, pricing, data transfers etc all this is just confusing to most users. We make it simple it's free that's it. This is our first day launching we will be adding some awesome features in the upcoming weeks. Thank you for the feedback.

That's great and all.

Who pays your bills in the next 12 months?

Better question: Who paid for thirsty.com? Dictionary words are not cheap.

Those are some lofty goals. Good luck.
