It makes me sad that ~75% of the discussion is around YouTube thumbnails and not the post.

A $5k RPi NAS is indeed ridiculous, and was hoping to see some good insights in here.

The only reason why I followed the link to the article is because of the author and it appeared on HN. If I had seen that thumbnail on YouTube, I would have scrolled past it immediately since it looked ridiculous and like the sort of video that would not offer meaningful insight for the amount time invested into watching it. Thankfully the blog post was upfront about the limitations. (I trust the video would be as well, but the blog post allowed me to reach that conclusion faster.)
