    Decentralized services also cost money to operate. Servers, bandwidth, developers. Where is the money for that supposed to come from?

      LBRY solves it by creating their token and rewarding peers for storing and serving the media. The same goes for most P2P solutions, there’s no entity that has to pay for the costs, all the network shares it. More users and peers mean higher resources, but the individual costs remain roughly the same.
