The difference with hosting using a VPS is that you pay with your time and using someone else’s infra still. So in the end nothing is free.

Some things also don’t exist like moderation because it’s only your media, and tradeoffs like no CDN.

I have a dedicated server and it's quite cheap compared to a VPS.

Yes you are right, nothing is free. I am paying for my dedicated server unless I host my own stuff from my home, but even then I pay for my ISP, but that is what makes nostr great is that there will be not a lot of freeloaders like X and Facebook. It's more organic.

don't support freeloaders!
