Imagine thousands of instances, paid for by individuals. It's not expensive to rent a server with maybe 50 GB of space for less than 10 dollars.

So 50 GB times 1000 = 50 TB of data. Of course not YouTube level but that's just 1000 people too.

What if 100.000 people paid that much?

I think federated is the future.
