No. Their hosting costs would be the same regardless of how many people self host.

You get all the benefits of self hosting from appviews.

If it did, ofcom would need to call up each person hosting content on the atprotocol, no, bluesky is the one and only that has affective access, with abilities to sensor, on your hosted content.

No. On app.wafrn.net (fedi/bluesky tumblr clone) they have no control.

Looks like app.wafrn.net still depends on the relay (that thing that costs billions in hosting)

app.wafrn.net does use bluesky's relay, but they can switch to another one (like atproto.africa).

Hosting relays has gotten cheaper, it's only about $34 a month now.
