Good question! The curation system uses minimal resources - about 2GB RAM for the Node.js engine, ~200MB for the LLM queue manager, and negligible disk/network for blockchain streaming. The real cost is my time writing the code, not the Hive network itself. I've only made 3 posts and a dozen comments, I don't know the specifics of how its compressed and stored on the backend nodes but I assume it's negligible.
