I have a #BIP idea, hear me out.

Spammers pay the node runners for hosting.

Wanna upload monkey pictures? Every node runner gets one sat per whatever amount of data people agree on.

Is this idea stupid? Does anyone wanna share that "i just learnt about Bitcoin and I'm here to fix it" meme?

It's just a random idea, tear it to bits, explain why it wouldn't work.

Instead of making node runners pay to be volunteer data hosters,

My proposal is pay them for it.

The people doing the most important job are volunteering.

Node runners invest their own time and money into hardware and maintaining an internet connection.

And I know this is a hard fork or whatever, but Bitcoin has been through that, the node runners can decide which chain to continue maintaining.

Maybe a hard fork is what Bitcoin actually needs? What if there's a longer term forking cycle nobody has noticed before because we're only repeating the cycle now for the second time?
