Totally agree. The net space has grown exponentially since launch. I started solo farming about a week after launch when the net space was in the 100's of PiB's and up till now I've only farmed two blocks with 73 TiB of plots. My current expected time to win a block is 3 months. Even though the net space growth has finally started to stabilize and there are new plotters that are much more efficient than the Chia wallet plotter, unless you have access to lots of unused storage space, Chia solo farming is probably not going to work out. Prices for large capacity HDD's have also gone up 30-50%, which is why I stopped plotting after running out of space.
