Mostly because having a big centralized firehose relay is less decentralized than people want to admit. | ||

That's not true. It's not centralized in any way that matters. The Relay Bluesky uses is open source, you can run your own for $30/month if you really insist on doing that, it's trivial to pool between multiple apps if you want to lower costs, and there are already a few independent ones you can just use directly now, for example: - https://pdsls.dev/firehose?instance=wss%3A%2F%2Fatproto.afri... - https://pdsls.dev/firehose?instance=wss%3A%2F%2Feurope.fireh... | ||

Why is that a problem if you can host relay for $50 per month as TFA mentions? | ||
