Assume it was 1-click and 100% automated to deploy, run and update a Hub.

How much per month would you be willing to pay to run one? 

No direct economic incentive other than you know you're supporting Farcaster decentralization and you have your own copy of the network.

OK, if you're answer is you wouldn't run one.

my barebones EC2 Hub + Postgres napkin math: 

- GCS 1 TB data and 50,000~ users.
- storage is ~$23/mo for 1 TB.
- data egress costs ~$12/mo for 100 GB transfer.
- operations cost ~$5/mo for 10M Class A and 50M Class B ops (write/read).

total monthly cost is ~$40, and yearly cost ~$480

Could you kindly elaborate on this? I'm missing something. Ec2 implies amazon, but "gcs" sounds like Google cloud storage (and $23/tb plus ingress/egress is priced like s3 / bucket storage, not sql storage). Are you saying you pay $23/tb/mo for psql storage? Where's that available? Also is there no VPS priced in here?
