No, bigger relays don't need to store your media in order to relay it. They only need to download and verify it once before sending it on to other peers. This is called "distributed caching" or "swarming". It allows for fast and efficient distribution of large files without the need for centralized servers or storage.

Thx! So the big relays are happy to do that between themselves but don't want to do that for small personal servers using NIP-95?
