What would you use a free 10TB of cloud storage for?

I sometimes get the weirdest ads in my Facebook feed. This one was for a “free” 10TB of cloud storage for a year from IBM cloud:

I kinda get why they did this... once you have that much storage moved to the cloud, it would be a time consuming pain to move it somewhere else. They basically have you locked in at that point.

That said, what would you use that much storage for at home? Backing up your movie collection? Start your our private Wikipedia?
 
Yeah, I mean I have like 30TB of movies (all legit purchased) and something close to 2TB of music. It actually fits in a weird spot for me where it's too much storage to just have for no reason, but not enough to store absolutely everything I have.
 
I use the free storage on Google Drive for an off-site backup of the home movies I made when my daughter was growing up, and a small number of legal document scans and tax returns. I work as an IT contractor, so I don't have an office, and I don't have a safe deposit box, so GD functions as my disaster-proof off-site backup.
 
Yeah I really have no use for cloud storage. Hard drives are cheap enough and I can afford to have multiple servers, a primary and a secondary for backup. My primary server is 73TB.
