Tangled & other folks run their own AppServers for doing Tangled views of the network. Those aren't insanely expensive by any measure.
Many of the people on Tangled especially host their own Personal Data Service themself. It's fantastically cheap.
This seems like you either don't know much or you are super super cheapening out on credit. Fear uncertainty & Doubt is a low motive.
It'd be great if you share concrete details: this type of machine on this type of connection, costing X. And what traffic and load does that see?
Here's a somewhat random exampe: "consuming the firehose for less than $2.50/mo" https://bsky.bad-example.com/consuming-the-firehose-cheaply/
