Hi @Brisket , notes about the account pricing:
- These are annual plans. 69000sats is = $4 a month, not a lot even at ATHighs. 1 month ago it would have been $2.50.
Regardless, we should not be pricing in dollars, 1sat = 1sat.
- Since your initial plan a year ago, Fishcake has joined and rebuilt the entire site with a new account dashboard look and feel, additional features (CDN, backup, View All viewer, better uploader, etc). It is a MUCH better experience not to mention the 24/7 support.
- Each of us put hours into nostr.build a day reviewing content, replying to issues, updating the site, etc. We maybe make a few hundred profit a month which we leave in the node for liquidity and emergency. Fishcake and I make no money from nostr.build.
- And of course, we always have a 100% free service and will keep any media uploaded for a year if you decide not to renew!

Thanks for the detailed explanation & rationale behind the pricing.
I'm a little concerned that you might be pushing people towards the free service. This is not good for anyone. People should pay for their services & Nostr build should be sustainable.
I'm not a heavy uploader & could easily get away with 2GB per year. I think most users fit into this category & would find it hard to justify moving to a paid sub.
I'm not complaining, just providing some feedback. I understand that this is difficult & has real world costs. I also have no issues with the team turning a profit for their work.
