Storage object cheapest
I'm not a coder — I used ChatGPT to help me create an adult video streaming website. Right now, I'm using HTML5 video, storing the content on Backblaze B2, and caching through Cloudflare. This seems like the easiest and most cost-effective setup I could find. 😅 I'm just wondering — is there any object storage out there that's even cheaper?

How about cloudflare r2? they have no egress fee and is cheaper than backblaze
Sr, i don't speak Eng, i used to GG translate
I compared R2 with B2 and found that R2 has higher storage fees than B2. With B2, if you cache videos through Cloudflare, there's no egress fee either. When comparing the storage classes between R2 and B2, B2 still turns out to be cheaper.
Ah, I was under the impression it was cheaper from other people. My bad
Anyone know?
Get a Hetzner storage server, install Minio (or other self-hostable S3 solution), and cache that through Cloudflare. Depending on which server you get, you can bring the per TB cost to €1 or less.

They didn't allow it from the start.
Try tebi.io?
