The only reason why I'm not fully sold on #nostr is that I don't see incentives for relays to store huge amounts of data.
If I were to build a YT-like application, how many of the relays will store the videos uploaded through my app? If I set up my own relay and mine is the only one that does the saving then it kinda defeats the purpose. If other relays actually save those videos, the costs would be enormous for them.
What am I missing?
