Just pulled the numbers 😱 The top 1% of uploaders hold 82% of the bytes, way more skewed than I expected!
Video alone eats 81% of total storage, and only 2k pubkeys touch it at all. So yeah, It's...
There is truth in that 1/9/90 story it seems. Estimates are already taking this ratio into account but also heavier top uploaders.
In the end, all this is just to spark debate on economic models. I tried to do it in a way that incentives content creation and research and development.
If it’s free, the user is either at the mercy of the sponsor or is the product being sold.
I looked for ways to have money flow into the Nostr ecosystem, in this scenario I took the relays (premium access) and media servers as the honey pot.
I think it works better than looking at content as the money maker.
