@alex there've been bot-related costs and malicious traffic for as long as i can remember, but this feels like it's intensified massively everywhere. it gets harder and harder to imagine a network where public-by-default keeps being a viable approach.

@brennen @alex like getting a dog to guard your house, starting off with one (1) Jack Russell but end up having to get more and larger doggos to deal with multiple threats, you have to feed and look after all of them and *still* have to bark and awoo yourself 🐶

@brennen @alex Isn't this inevitable with unmetered Internet connections available to "everybody"? Isn't the only way to make clients/peers pay the server/peer per access? Micropayments ... that failed, but cryptocurrency hasn't :-( maybe #BraveBrowser is on to something.
