Scale is the problem. It’s easy to do things for few people, it’s magnitudes harder to make it work for millions at a reasonable efficiency. 🐶🐾🫡

Right, but in the long term if someone is hosting a lot of files than they could have/pay for a keet server, and users could have their own monetization scheme. Otherwise, how much do you have to pay for a relay when you start uploading/downloading gigabytes at a time, doesn't that create some unnecessary centralization because users are having to decide between which relay they want a stiff monthly sub for? This way, you are only paying for the data you upload/download, rather than access to the terabytes of data that you aren't interested in, leaving the user with more money to spend somewhere else.

Again, very limited technical understanding of how all this really works, just what I have noodled out.

Good points. Thank you! 🐶🐾🫂
