We need to align the incentives of relays with those of the consumers or we’ll have the same predatory models evolve here too.
Consumers are accustomed to getting “free” services. The relays who can cater to that habit by monetizing their consumption without charging them directly will have an economic advantage. We can fix this, and I’m optimistic, but not sure how to do it.
