Why do you think that? Storj is a private company, and they’ve grown to over 30k nodes just by saying “run this software, add your ETH wallet, and we’ll pay you $x/month for storage and $y/month for egress”. No need for _definitive responses_ from executives. And SNOs are still clamoring over each other for ingress.

SNOs, by design, are disposable. I guess anyone can make demands in the forum… but in the end those executives won’t even notice the loudest of SNOs even if they leave…
