The best way out is to merge all media server providers in Nostr in a single pool and users pay by usage, not by storage. With that, we reduce the race to the bottom on image services while also allowing user to choose a trusted provider to serve as proxy for all images and videos. Meaning the receiving user chooses the media server, not the sender.

I think you ignoring the part where someone has to actually moderate things and prevent things like CSAM from circulating. Good intentions, hardly workable in practice. 🐢🐾🫑
I am not ignoring. The nodes can still implement their policies individually. The two most important parts to me are: - give the receiving user the power to choose. - move your revenue model away from a race to the bottom In that framework, CSAM can be managed by both storage providers and proxy providers separately. Given resources, everything is possible.
