A reminder: there are 0 economic rewards for running a Hub. There won't be a surprise one later. For example, this YouTube video has 7.4K views teaching people how to operate a Hub on a $50 a month VPS. If you don't actually have a use for the Hub—or aren't in it for ideological / altruistic reasons—stop wasting your money. :) https://youtu.be/8VLHXRJ6wcQ?t=224 https://warpcast.com/dwr.eth/0xe4780508

Too many Hubs is bad. Makes network slow. There are more Hubs than Ethereum nodes right now. Overkill.

I don't think so. Maybe most of them are just using multiple IPs, specially in Germany & 2 Datacenters.

There’s a 1 ETH bounty if you can prove they are fake. A bunch of people have looked and they seem real enough.

even if it were true to some extent, i'm not sure how it's much of an issue if real builders are already spinning up their own hubs?

Ethereum dev (& of course other blockchains) has proven that builders often (if not all) have the tendency to use infra providers b/c of high technical overhead of maintaining the infra themselves. i.e. If you are serious in providing reliable services to your users, you leave the infra part to experts.

Most people building use Neynar, Airstack, etc.
