I pay ~6€ for 1TB of storage on Hetzner managed Nextcloud instance, that is 0,005859375€ per GB. Obviously, that is not a back up solution or a back up solution for the "PARANOID tm", but come on, 0.25$ per GB is a ripoff

At that pricing, if you need to backup less than 25GB compressed data, Hetzner is more expensive than the "ripoff".
Good thinking there pal, but you are missing the point. If I wanted to store 25GB i could probably find a spot that'd do it for free (Mega, Google Drive etc)
If you need free space to store something this is so not for you buddy... Just go register 10 google accounts to spread your stuff around and you never need to pay for storage;) some people like to be a customer not a product
my point it is overpriced no matter how you look at it
Yes, it's seriously overpriced and storage costs hasn't decreased on Tarsnap for ages. That is the reason I am currently migrating off Tarsnap after using it for over ten years.
No, it's overpriced if you compare it to worse solutions which is how the market is supposed to work
So I should pay 125€/mo(plus transfer fees) instead of 6€/mo for my 500GB?
