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" h/t to @vrypan.eth @deodad and @sds

This model feels wrong Farcaster users don’t necessarily have a relationship with a single app. What happens when the user decides to stop using the app that pays for their storage? Feels like there’s an incentive misalignment

you'd just migrate your data to another app. sort of like if you stopped paying your email or hosting provider. this problem exists in a similar form with signers today btw, and is solvable.
