Only the creator has the power to delete their own content, they must have their private key to do so. They will be able to reclaim a portion of the fee they used to upload. Since storage is always getting cheaper, one could almost perform an infinity curve via deleting their content every few years, reclaim fee, use fee to reupload for more time, or they can just pocket the fee. If you could get paid something to delete old content, would you? I'm sure some would.
Not sure what information you have but only Hive/HP holders are getting claim dropped to. There is a very tiny claim drop then a 1 for 1 claim drop, both to Hive holders only.
In the whitepaper we describe how Hive is used, it is the backbone of the whole system where all of our text information like CIDs for the recall files, only IPFS is used to store videos and images which Hive does not do.
I do urge you to read the LP if you haven't. The SIP alone will lock up Hive forever every day off the market. There are tons of ways the SPK network benefits Hive.
Hey Dan, thanks for taking the time to set my mind at ease haha.
I'm really excited to see where you guys take this project.
Keep up the great work :)
