As the users grow and the ability for hobbyists to run their own relay starts to decline, what system allows best for the relay points to remain decentralized ?

Why would the ability for everyone to run a relay decline? Has your ability to run a Bitcoin node declined?

We’re all storing the same information. Twitter makes 12 terabytes a day in txt alone….

I don't need to store events I don't care about

If you want to run a global relay you will have limits to the amount you can scale up in a single server so there will have to be horizontal scaling as well no?

Horizontal?

Federations of relays

Relays will need to become a little more advanced and implement something like a routing system. A global relay is not necessary.
