Yes but if you consider that old content is generally still hosted by people who wrote it or recently consumed it, it's fine. The original author is a node, sharing that content, as are other nodes.

No relay is offering anything close to permanent storage, and certainly not for free.

Making every use a relay for content storage/sharing would instantly and massively improve the storage capacity of the nostr network. And remember at least for text notes even an android phone can store millions of them. Wikipedia fits on a DVD.

Idea for nostr: relays should ONLY store a list of event IDs so you can query a list of the users most recent posts.

Storage of the posts themselves should be pushed to a p2p content-addressed storage backend like freenet, tahoe-lafs, dht (BitTorrent) or similar. You request a note? You are now serving that note to others. Every client becomes a relay.

Since everything is signed by a key there's no risk of impersonation. The nostr relay solves the issue of "what are this person's most recent posts" without having to deal with the storage and headaches that come from actually storing the posts themselves.

This also solves a number of privacy concerns that come from relays being the centralized place people fetch content from. It also solves the blossom/media storage problem.
