I think I'm understanding something wrong.  What error did I make below?

Filecoin
https://file.app/
$0.0292 / TB-Month

Siacoin
https://siastats.info/storage_pricing
$4.29 / TB-Month

Amazon Glacier
https://aws.amazon.com/glacier/pricing/
$4.00 / TB-Month

It does look like things have changed since I noticed what was up a little.

What's most relevant is that the fact that these chains ever let data expire is simply an artefact of their design: they could be changed to never let anything be deleted ever, and still pay people for storing it via mining and fees.
