Are they really? Usenet is from the 70s and build for text posts, which take less than 1kb of storage per Post. Modern Sites allow you to upload gigabytes of data for a few dollars per month. The cost for storage and traffic gas come down a lot
Doesn’t really matter what it may have once been considering we’re talking about using it to store and distribute large binaries of today. And yeah, six figures doesn’t sound that far off the target when you consider the storage in petabytes and, more importantly, the bandwidth. Multiply that with redundancy and multiple locations in general and you’ll easily hit six figures.
