Would people choose to see a thread or not if they knew how many megabytes it would cost to download?

Ahahah less heltrhwad more sats stacked?
It would depend on what sort of data allowances you get on Internet plans in the part of the world you are in. I’ve got plenty of data on both my home and mobile Internet services so I don’t care at all about how much data a thread uses.

I am spoiled to have utterly unlimited data at extremely high speeds, but usage is a serious issue for several friends I have on here.
How would this work with the duplication from several relays? Would the relay report it and the client estimate the total?
For me personally 300MB is nothing. I have 180GB included in my mobile plan and 3TB included on my home Internet plan.
For users that do have limits though I think the solution is more trying to optimise clients to reduce the data usage, maybe through caching or avoiding pulling duplicate notes etc. I’m not entirely sure how feasible that is.
If there was some sort of metric for how much data a person produces maybe it could be possible to put users over a certain number of MB in a list and only pull their notes when connected via wifi rather than just not following them.
Or how much it costs to follow someone in average? Would that make you follow or unfollow someone?
This person produces: 300 MB
Download this month?
I mean, follow this month?
Imagine live-streaming millisats to use the service. real time payments.
Why would any of that cost money
Nobody said money, I said megabytes
Not the current users.
In damus there is an issue where there are issues posting a note if user has poor cell service.
If anything makes sense, if someone is conscious about megabytes downloaded, is an altogether low data mode, or text only client.
