My two cents regarding Hubs / Incentives and Storage Fee. Hubs: As @dwr already mentioned the only reasons two run hubs are if you're building any hub-consuming service (like a custom client, a analytics platform, ...) or for the sake of decentralization. Companies are also not rewarded to run email servers, but rather generate income through the services they build on top of it (e.g. outlook, gmail, yahoo, you name it). I expect >95% of currently active mainnet hubs to shut down within the next months (this is a good sign imho). Storage: Farcaster can only be run as a permissioned system where messages are limited to whitelisted addresses or through a pay-to-use model. Right now storage fees are on the pay-to-use side limiting the data that's stored, but not what's transmitted (e.g. rate of messages). I highly believe this needs a change but the only solution I see is a pay-per-message model which is not optimal.
