 What about relays that forget content after a period of time? These would be very lightweight and easy to run. Most people don't even want their notes stored for eternity.

Obviously we want to save important notes and clients can have a nostr KIND for them

 Twitter grows by 12TB per day. If there was a relay that stores 30 days only for each user, that would still be 30 x 12TB - too much for anyone to store.

 Although a lot of that is probably bloated media files, which relays can farm out to other servers (still have to address scaling for those though)

 People love to lost audiovisual content. Will be no different on Nostr. Outsourcing the storage to somewhere else doesn't solve the problem that the disk space must exist and be paid for somewhere.
