An interesting Farcaster idea:  what if apps paid for storage, not users? 

- Apps buy a chunk of bytes.  
- Free to allocate to casts, reactions, follows in any way. 
- Free to assign to users in any way (fixed rate, free) 
- Lower cost by avoiding "unused storage"

Main benefits are that: 

1. Cost of onboarding new users is lowered. Apps can front users and kick them out if they are spammy later. 

2. Storage utilization is more efficient. Lots of users overpay and don't use bytes, apps could get better economies of scale.

I actually thought this was how it was intended to be used when I first read the documentation 😂 I think it previously mentioned something about paying for storage for apps / servers or something
