I think that’s true right now, at the beginning, while it’s being bootstrapped.
Like bitcoin, there has to be an incentive for running the network. If we can’t keep the lights on via “tips” then we will all charge a fee. Even a small one.
I think it can’t scale on altruism. The spirit is there right now, though, to be sure.
