if you pay a node to host content for you then queries to it don't need to do a bunch of hops, indirections, block lookups, etc. you just ask the specified address (ie centralized server) for the object and it sends it back to you immediately because it has the entire thing sitting there because that's what you paid them for
you could literally reuse existing ipfs http relays for this. set one up that only fulfills queries for stuff it has pinned locally and then charge to pin stuff on it. I'm not saying that's a particularly elegant solution but it would work at which point I'm really wondering what the point of nostr is in this scenario

It accomplishes this by running its own gateway that has all the media pinned locally and will only serve those files (it isn’t a general purpose gateway). You can even get reasonable response times using other gateways, too. cloudflare-ipfs.com seems to be peering with the master gateway right now, for it doesn’t take much more time to fetch an image from it than from the master one.
nostr:npub1w7x9m8xutlezyzmu7d78d8ygzk6sdpncfuuds8jsz2wnwk8f52dqkrpc4w I have never heard this full soundtrack before today and I am sitting here in awe that this album supposed to mock Christians is the most righteous holy banger I have ever heard
nostr:npub1y6tk68elxfcrz8yx5kf32agav67hwz4rt2ff22f8rl98yxh7uxhsx69wl9 I’m convinced the mocking Christians angle comes entirely from outside the team responsible. The villains are treated as too nuanced for scorn to come across from them to me. Just listen to this monologue from the main villain. There is definitely an understanding of what a lot of people feel about today’s world that reads as more cautionary in the “be careful of what you’re willing to do to make what’s right” way than the “Christianity is bad, Sunday school is boring, become an atheist, and pour coffee on yourself” way. In fact, you could even take from the game a Christian moral: when the Anti-Christ appears, we will be so inundated in sinful behavior that no one will be able to tell who he is, not even himself, so always be vigilant of what is right and lean not on your own or society’s understanding.
