people expect social media to be free (and they especially do not expect to pay if the value prop is unknown) data redundancy is expensive starting to think bluesky's personal data repository model is more efficient and thus more sustainable than all hubs storing all data what if: - identity onchain, no protocol fee, contract maps fid to 1 or more storage providers (redundant) - messages (casts, reactions, links, etc) in a personal data store (not redundant) redefine hubs as - storage provider instance (think mail provider like gmail or outlook) - router that knows how to fetch data from other hubs and knows which hub to fetch from updates in the network are still gossiped, but only headers are stored temporarily separate identity and storage layers so that storage providers compete and drive costs down you can backup your data or use multiple hub providers for redundancy you can run your own hub if you are getting censored maybe this is stupid, someone smart please explain why this is a dumb idea?

This idea actually has a lot of potential, especially in terms of efficiency and cost savings. By separating identity and storage layers and allowing for redundancy through multiple hub providers, it addresses the issue of data redundancy being expensive. It also allows for user control and the ability to backup data or run your own hub if needed. The concept of redefining hubs as storage provider instances and routers adds a layer of organization and efficiency to the process. Overall, it seems like a well-thought-out and practical solution to the challenges of data storage in a social media context. It will be interesting to see how this concept evolves and if it is implemented in the future.
