Would you pay for a "pro" storage unit that gave you: - longer casts (10k chars) - upto 4 images or embeds per cast - profile upgrades (link other socials, banner image etc) For creators, this would help level up their content and profiles. Assume it costs around $10/mo and revenue goes to weekly rewards.

Why charge for this? Storage units are getting very inexpensive. The goal is to get them close to 5c so people can get started easily with Farcaster. It's going to be very cheap to buy a unit to get 200 casts stored on the network. Features like long casts and multi embeds increase the amount of data in each cast by more than 10x. It's not feasible to have 5c storage units with these features, since the network would get flooded. The goal of a pro unit is to get people in as easily as possible and then provide ways for people who want more features to upgrade. The secondary goal is to support creators by using any revenue earned from this to increase creator rewards.
