I feel very confident that in 30 years AWS, Azure and Google Cloud will still be operating and profitable.

I think there's a very small chance that Backblaze will be.

Nothing against them, but it's virtually impossible to compete long-term with the economies of scale, bundling and network effects of the major cloud providers.

Cloud providers AWS in particular uses storage and transfer pricing as means of lock-in to other products , they can never be cost competitive to Backblaze , they has a thriving prosumer business .

I don’t think it is going anywhere.
