Letās turn it around: How many client are there that can or want to read directly from hubs/snapchain without an aggregator service in the middle

At least 2 donāt use Neynar at all in any way. Thereās some that just use hosted hubs and no custom APIs so theoretically can swap out to their own node or another node provider underneath. The question has the appearance of being pointed but the truth is that doesnāt ultimately matter. It doesnāt matter whether coinbase wallet uses Zerion APIs or uses a raw ethereum node to show your list of assets. What matters is whether the underlying systems give the _option_ to exit which is available to everyone on ethereum and Farcaster. Thereās no lock in by definition. Anyone can run a hub or build a competitive developer platform (many have).

Given owl QC'd, to just add context here - we opted to stay independent in February so there was at least one example for people on Farcaster to point to of a client running independently. We figured it would help Farcaster be more decentralized, even at much greater cost to us! https://warpcast.com/jc/0xab79a169
