The thread paints this as pricier than it is. Real nostrcheck.me numbers. 5k users, 250k files, 5M events, 2 TB served, 300-500 concurrent connections, and it costs me around 35 euros a month.
With an 83% hit rate the origin barely serves 340 GB and Cloudflare eats the rest for free, so egress isn't the monster everyone assumes. Compute and storage don't strain either.
At 50k you'd land around 100-200 euros/month with R2 and a dedicated box. Still pocket change next to any subscription.
