Nothing on the Internet seems to indicate that use distribution will be even. Power law is going to get involved and some nodes are going to get massive.
Well yeah that will happen. Initially I looked for instances with the biggest subscription base. Then after some reading about the Fediverse I realized that kind of thinking does not apply. You get everything regardless of which node you’re on (barring any defederation). Maybe most will realize that, but you’re probably right most will not. We’ll see how it goes.

The hosting costs isn’t on the user end, but the instance end.
