idk when we decided building on base layer was a good thing.
bitcoin doesn't live on the aether. it lives on the people's devices, or suppose to. that's what makes it special and decentralized. its a slow, small but secure trustable event queue for major monetary events.
then we have layer 2s and layer 3s recently, that eventually fallback to base layer for its security in the worse cases.
the node software should be designed to run on your personal computer or phone. each update, each change, each decision should reflect that.
just like nostr relays and clients try to stop spam, the bitcoin node running on your device too by default, like it was trying since the early days.
bitcoin is not a blossom server. when i run a node i dont expect to download and serve some memes. im not your cdn.
you can't abuse node runners, because then all your nodes run on aws.
as i said main goal of any node software should be making it easier to run on pc and phones. that should be the target device. and you should work in the best interest of node runners. it should get easier to run a node as the time goes by, not harder.
node runners are not your resource, they are your users.
