Your second point is why paying for such services makes a real difference.
Companies like storj.io, backblaze, or any other cloud storage/backup provider provide a service for a fee with (not really) clear usage rules. If you're encrypting your stuff before it goes to the cloud, you're pretty safe from scanning, and if you have a contract for a given space and bandwidth, the worst you'll probably run into is overage fees.
So, a social graph under a supposedly open protocol... Still building the social graph though.
"No longer"?
You just now realize this?
If this is a new behaviour, I'd talk to a vet to make sure there are no health issues.
If there are no new health issues, and he never did this before, then you've inadvertently trained him to this new behavior (probably by going out whenever). It happens easily, because we don't realize we're establishing a new routine.
Talk to your vet, besides the health angle, they probably have advice on undoing the behaviour.
Dammit, I was there a while back, wish I'd known!
I started to down vote you, but with the verification stuff Bing does make sense.
Kagi doesn't do that
My guess is kagi
After (ugh) 30 years of having PCs and many, many, drives, Seagate has been the worst.
But I've had WD fail too. Just not as much, and I've had far more WD drives. I currently have about 20 drives of varying ages, 98% of them are WD, because more of the Seagate drives have failed and been trashed.
Season it with Flax seed oil. Worth the $10 for the bottle, and time.
Cooks Country came up with Flax seed oil after a lot of testing.

My only issue with Grayjay (both Android and Windows app), is you have to manually export the videos out of Grayjay
If you try to grab the files directly, they don't work.
To tack on to this, with an example that is easier to grasp - I have my own cloud, comprised of machines at my house, my friends, and family.
Those machines provide backup storage for each other, over the internet (using an encrypted connection).
If I were to charge people for storage, I'd be little different than any other cloud storage provider (at the most basic level).
