as far as i know, Keet required years of development (and will continue to need upgrades over time like all software). isn’t that a running cost?

I'm gonna have to do a deep dive on holepunch. I've learned to never give anything the benefit of the doubt, and the website makes me think of a shitcoin designed to be a self-propagating virus.

Let me know if you have come across and non biased reviews or overviews... 

Yes, [Keet](https://keet.io/), and other apps that will be built on the recently released [Pear runtime](https://pears.com/).

Keet runs on *zero* infrastructure. No servers and no relays (unlike Nostr). The only thing that the developers have done to get the P2P network up and going is to run a few instances themselves, and it's from specially signed instances (again, not servers) that updates to the software are propagated.

The Bitcoin chat room on Keet currently has over 1400 members and the chat is 'hosted' or shared across those members devices (mainly phones and some desktops). No servers, no running costs.

arrivederci

you had me until the last sentence.

can you share an example of any system that incurs no running costs?

How much do social media apps make from each user?

The future of social media does not lie with centralised server based platforms (this includes SN)

The future lies with decentralised, fully P2P platforms, which will be far superior and *do not require* revenue generation (because they incur no running costs)
