Yep we will probably need to pay someone for hosting if we want to compete with Usenet? I get like blistering fast downloads and almost anything I can imagine for like $20-30 a year.

We will have paid blossom servers.

- Uploaders will have to pay a certain amount of sats/GB/month for storage.

- with automatic cashu payments from a NIP-60 wallet

- Users / Downloaders might need to pay a few sats for bandwidth to get content from the blossom servers.

- Only payments will incentivize people to run blossom servers with Terabytes of storage and Petabytes of bandwidth.

I am seeding 750+ torrents. Only placing ~ 2 TB/month. Incentive: fuck all of the streaming services.

uploading ~ 2 TB/month*

I love your incentive.

Streaming services still have superior UX, we need to work on that.

I want to: find video, watch trailer, sounds good, play and starts streaming and I'm certain it won't stall. Will pay many sats for that.

I think thats cool and hopefully we can do zap splits to send a (major) portion to the creators who publish directly to nostr. Fuck the middle men. Bitcoin disintermediated payments. Nostr will do the same for comms and content distribution.

Well, people will do it for free, but free stuff often has dodgy quality or unreliable service.

I'm extremely happy to pay sats for youtube videos I know I can access fast, without ads, and that don't prompt me to "sign in to confirm you're not a bot"
