Yeah but in this case, it’s a one time fee for a recurring expense. And the amount of money that comes in has to keep increasing over time semi-exponentially to be sustainable, or the costs need to be cut (you get worse service).

This is worse than cross subsidization which is doable if managed right.

Which I see that you recognize here. This model works _realy_ well to make offering products sustainable. Distribution is the right word I suppose.

Event volume is also disconnected from real load. It just means you push out high-event-volume customers that may actually cost the same (less active time per day/data fetched)

So it just makes the problem worse than it would have been with an “accurate” usage model.

But yes, the pricing is designed with the “average customer” as the target on Nostr.land.

There is no good usage metric and users shouldn’t have to worry about quotas unless you are in the 99.9%p.
