Right exactly it can be as expensive as you want it to be. I have 2 12TB drives going. But you absolutely could just buy a $200 mini PC with a 1TB drive in it. Write a simple shell script that purges content first in first out. Cheap.
Probably just data hoarding downloading tons of content that will never get watched.
I think thats the case for most of us. But for some like myself, it does mean I have to do the monitoring myself now. I can’t complain it was a free service. But it did warn me about a renewal problem before the cert expired, so it was a useful service for me.
