This really bothers me about the state of webhosting. Trying to host your own stuff always feels so ephemeral because of monthly payment schemes and the need for maintenance. But the alternative of ad supported services like Facebook are fundamentally anti-user and evil by nature.
Im really wishing for one of the big cloud providers to offer a one time payment guarenteed for life "digital locker". A single e2e encrypted service to store my digital assets. Essentially an online scrapbook that you could add to and journal your whole life in without any prying eyes or advertisement.
Yes! One time payment for life storage is a great idea. I would also want to be able to serve some content publicly for ~100 years, so that it would be accessible even after my death. I called it the 'Century Archive' and wanted to price forever storage at $1/MB (for design as well as economic reasons).
