Expecting everything to work for free is like expecting communism to work.

It isn’t sustainable *at scale* without WoT relays, and even then… the costs will rise when there are hundreds of millions of users storing notes+multimedia+repos.

Paid models with Lightning will come. nostr:npub1h0rnetjp2qka44ayzyjcdh90gs3gzrtq4f94033heng6w34s0pzq2yfv0g will help deliver that — a few things are in the works currently by nostr:npub1ms9ujlulcgtpqn2uzpvhplee9l5kjg8jgqhrwmgutg0n7xk43nqq07qa0v. I just hope other client devs push for it too.

I remember nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s was going to offer zap splits to relays before he made zaps!⚡️ https://i.nostr.build/jITup9DFbkdfzFAM.jpg
