AWS for example, everything is metered. You pay for how much you store, how many CPU cycles you use, how much it gets accessed etc.
All the paid media hosts I've seen for nostr charge a flat fee per month, which means your seriously overpaying until you get close to maxing out the plan you're on.
What I'm talking about would have some pricing like:
3¢/gb/month storage + 1¢/10,000 requests
(Based off S3 pricing + healthy profit margin)
In this model, I'd think nothing of signing up as my monthly cost will be negligible at first. My first month I might have 200mb of images that get seen by 100 people, leading to a 10 sat bill the first month.
This will only grow over time as you upload more images and videos, but by then, you will have more media and much higher value actually provided by the service to you. Meanwhile nostr.build wants $1.50 a month right off the bat. This isn't much, but when your a new user, you are not gonna pay $1.50 to host a single picture. The pay as you go model is feasible to be fully zap funded, which would make onboarding immensely easy.
