On storage - Don't overthink it since casts you like or reply will likely be pruned at some point - Farcaster's explicit goal is *real-time* global state. - I fully expect people to offer paid (or free with ads) archiving services, a Wayback Machine type thing, etc.

And you can always buy more storage if you're a preservationist.

Preservationist here. What I'm worried about is not so much the increasing cost of preserving my activity over the years. I'm concerned that in many of the FIP-2 use cases, I will not be able to preserver fc activity that's important to me.

For example, comments on my blog posts. How can I preserve comments from every single user that used FIP-2 to comment on my blog? Or likes on my 15-minutes-of-fame cast? These are not mine, and don't even belong to a single user I could buy storage for.

This is a huge problem for the outcasters.xyz newsletter. @paragraph has integrated fc replies as comments. Im also linking back to Warpcast app for each curated cast.

Just save the comments within the app?

If you have to implement something like this, you could probably use a web2 commenting form. There are advantages to using fc, but the value proposition starts to look less attractive. What if there was a way to purchase storage units not just for a user's messages, but also other messages that interest someone?

Even if it was just a simple "preserve message with hash xxxxx" message, I could see third party services that I configure to preserve all likes on my casts, all casts with parent_url in a specific domain, etc. For me this would be great.

If it was easy for me to pay to preserve individual casts and all the replies + reactions, then I would do that for all casts that we curate in the newsletter. It’s important for us that these casts remain available in WC, so when subscribers click the images in the newsletter, they can see full discussion/context.
