how is relying on nostr relays (centralized) any different?
my point here is that if this were to actually take off the current arrangement wouldn't scale. right now you're free loading on donated bandwidth. in a sustainable scenario you'd have to pay specific relays to host your stuff for you (ie serve as a low latency CDN) and hint clients to query those first
at that point I have to wonder, why not just do exactly the same thing but with something like IPFS?
