Moore's Law: an observation that data storage doubles every two years or so. Will's Law: just nuke the data and you don't need storage.
From time to time I consider my own relay and I think โ€œshort termโ€ storage of notes to be sufficient for most use cases. This would be the kind of thing I would do.

That's an awesome compression ratio.
Short term storage is in some sense more natural for more conversational stuff. Like talking to people irl, are generally a short storage event. Btw, for huge relays another idea would be a similar que system; but counted in notes per npub. aka free storage 1k notes per npub the delete the oldest.
Yes, humans didnโ€™t evolve within a state of having months of prior interactions, so it seems pretty unnecessary for normal interactions. in some sense the expectation of having forever data is created by or at least subsidized by the benefit of the platforms mining that data for something they can sell of you.
you wouldnโ€™t dare rebroadcast them to my relay ๐Ÿคจ
I suppose anything that attempts to violate his rate limiting policies is mostly spam.
