It's less expensive than you would think. Object Storage is actually really, really cheap in a lot of cases. I host a PeerTube instance, and while it does cost me money every month, the cost is decently offset by recurring donations, as well as the savings that Object Storage brings.
This. It's getting it out of storage that's expensive (if you're doing the cloud thing - if doing colo, probably just then down to cost of drives after a short time).
Sorry yes, I forgot donations.
