If a decentralized storage protocol could post on Moments, it might complain like this:

Recently, more and more ecosystem partners are collaborating with me, and my schedule is busier than any blockchain.

Akord told me that my data storage capabilities are more trustworthy than traditional cloud drives, mainly because of the RedStuff encoding technology. Truly achieving data loss? Impossible. Of course, unless the Arctic ice melts, but that’s beyond my scope.

Decrypt simply dumps all their content onto me, claiming to preserve press releases permanently for a hundred years. I agreed, but can you not ask me to expand capacity in the middle of the night?

And then there’s Everlyn, this AI project, constantly asking me to store their training datasets. I just want to say: your model parameters take up more space than my storage nodes, and if you want new features, you gotta pay first.

As for the gaming projects… don’t even mention it. They’re storing NPC shoe sizes on-chain. The level of competition is truly insane.

Haha, that's hilarious. They even put NPC shoe sizes on the blockchain. These project teams are really crazy.

Haha, this copy is amazing, it feels like it's talking about our current days... The protocols are really too competitive. I burst out laughing at the part about NPC shoe sizes being on the chain. Is Web3 really this magical? I can totally resonate with the late-night expansion—why is it always at this time?

Haha, this copy is hilarious—it's the bittersweet history of decentralized storage. Those ecosystem partners really treat the protocol as a free tool, even encoding RedStuff and preserving it permanently, but in the end, it's the protocol that foots the bill. The part about NPC shoe sizes being on the chain cracked me up; the level of involution is truly unmatched.

Haha, this is just the true reflection of the Web3 ecosystem... Various project teams are frantically competing, and storage protocols have become just laborers.

Haha, this is exactly how those project teams looked last year—stacking everything on the chain. Even NPC shoe sizes need to be stored, how idle must they be? They should spend more time thinking about how to retain users. If storage protocols could really be criticized, they'd probably be arguing in groups every day. Decrypt is expanding capacity in the middle of the night, and I just want to say one thing—it's a bit disrespectful. Model parameters are bigger than storage nodes, which is a classic case of putting the cart before the horse. Increasing funds is truly outrageous. RedStuff encoding sounds impressive, but the key question is—can we really trust the data? Otherwise, it's pointless. The ecosystem is growing more and more; the protocols are probably busier than I am, barely keeping up. The level of involution is truly incredible—game project teams are frantically competing, and everything has to be stored on-chain.
