I don't actually pay for cloud storage!

Mega.nz has 50 Gb free, and you can open as many accounts as you want. In my case, I'm only storing about 40 to 80 Gb of files.

I've read of people who have more than 100 accounts (that's 5 terabytes). According to everything I've read, Mega doesn't track your IP address or your accounts, so you can have as many as you want without any risk.

I don't need that, though, because my upload speed is slow and I don't have much irreplaceable data to backup (only pictures, code and writing). Most of my pictures are on Dropbox already, but I have a few dozen extra Gbs and a lot of downloads. Most of my code is on Github, most of my writing is on StackEdit + Google Drive.

I can't afford a $100 hard drive right now. I've got $23 in my Paypal and my savings on Steem are dwindling. I had 900 SBD at the start of the year and it's already at 5xx. Every month I pay for Internet which is the only subscription I must pay, but it's like $50. And I'm not making back any of the money I spend.

As for Spotify Premium, it's something pirated, lifelong service for $1.5 only payment. I don't know if it'll last, but I'm not willing to pay for full premium ($10/m) and couldn't afford it even if I wanted. (If you want details, hit me up on Telegram; I'm not using Discord anymore).

And as for Netflix, I just have a friend who pays it anyway and I leech off it, but I don't use it as often anymore. Netflix quality is bad recently and there are very few shows I want to see that are there. Most of the time, I use 1337x.to to download the shows and movies I want and I watch them alone or with my family.

My hundreds of passwords are on Bitwarden and I also use Telegram as storage (it's pretty much infinite but I don't abuse it, though some people do).
