Sorry it took so long, but hopefully this can serve as a launching off point for everyone who wants to build paid storage servers
This is great. We need more developers thinking like capitalists and always making new features based on how others can make money. All this "keep everything free" is a socialist way of thinking.
No more freeloaders going forward on nostr. Free services just attracts scammers and freeloaders.
If you want someone to host your stuff. You must pay to play.
Or self host 😆
It's only a tiny minority that ruin media servers for everybody. Those tiny minority are not willing to self host because their content is usually against the media servers TOS or hosting companny TOS so they try to freeload off others. By requiring payment it will make sure it keeps those away as they will have to think hard and be forced to read the TOS before they pay to upload.
But yes. That will force that tiny minority to self host which is what they should be doing.
