A 26 TB disk costs $550 USD. Disk space is the least of the concerns. Do more research into the topic. It has more to do with game theory, incentives amd the ability to control the data on your node. Imo both sides have valid perspectives but somehow this has devolved into flame wars rather than what should be a respectful dialog. Novices jumping down the throats of long time devs with low resolution takes and accusations is most definitely not helping.

Ah yes so now I need to replace my 2TB hard drive with a 26TB hard drive. And I'll have to upgrade my internet plan. Oh and I'll have to risk being sent to prison for running a node. Or, alternatively I can just not update to core 30 and save myself the stress, while I buy the dip knowing that the blockchain without childporn will retain the title of Bitcoin JUST LIKE LAST TIME
Try again without straw-manning. The price quote for a 26TB drive was clearly intended as a cost metric not a requirement. Your node will not be immune from illicit content no matter which software you run. In fact the mindless tribalism is likely to lead to both sides getting a dose of it to prove a point.
