somebody has to pay for data storage. in web2 the advertisers pay the tech company who pays for storage. on farcaster we pay fees to the protocol. but those fees just sit in the protocol treasury, ie they are not spent on anything yet. so who is *paying* for the storage?

forgive if dumb question

data is valuable to apps and devs so they run hubs to keep copies of it live.

what we do is add constraints so that less valuable data is removed from hubs so that the cost of this hub stays reasonable. this is where user fees and storage limits come in.
