I'm currently trying to make this work for me so I can cancel all my streaming subscriptions, but the storage cost really makes it unreasonable. I have everything set up but as of now I can't just torrent every Netflix original because storing it all would be much more expensive than a monthly Netflix sub.
I notice you say distributed block storage here but don't name a service like every other part of the pipe, is there something you use? I can't imagine you're storing 1000s of 4K movies and TV series in S3 and not paying 100s of dollars monthly for the privilege
It's not the same as the income situation. In that situation it's about whoever pays you not wanting you to know that you're being undervalued compared to your coworkers. With healthcare it's about not wanting your community to know things and have biases against you and treat you differently because of your medical history.
Imagine you used to have cancer and beat it, and independent of that fact are looking for a new job that offers health insurance.
If your condition every resurfaces, you're going to be a real expensive hire for your employer in terms of time off (for treatments and recovery) and your new health insurance provider.
You might be so expensive that they decide not to hire you, or decide not to cover you.
If you want to think of your own cases, think about medical conditions that have been stigmatized over the course of history and how people's actual lives are effected by them.
