yeah, that's the kind of paid I'm talking about. if the posts are high quality, they will be hosted for free, but people will pay to auth and read from the relays
Discussion
quality is subjective, and can't be discovered until after it's seen
unless you put some limit on what can be STORED on a relay how do you evaluate what anyone wants to see, and then ... you know.. pay someone to store it?
i say, no. you have to charge to store it. first. other relays can decide to copy that data, it can be freely accessed from teh first relay, so, whatever. but i am vehemently against popularity being any kind of means of deciding the cost of storage.
why? because storage has a fucking cost.
you make popularity a premium that means no price to post?
then you, normal, unpopular person, are shit outta luck, i mean what the fuck. come on, this is not ok
also, i want to vomit in the general direction of anyone who thinks that popular content should be free.
no content should be free. but at the same time, you can't control who copies it.
so, yeah, if you want to copy what other people post, fine. but if you think that you can run relays at zero cost. what the fuck is wrong with you?
just fucking go back to free facebook you fucking retard
mossad and cia will love you
