The same thing happens with text posts, right? I don't see an exponential expansion, just linear in the number of nodes. It sounds like the decentralized way to do things. Hmm. Anyway, thanks for the explanation. It saves some storage but doesn't save bandwidth, it sounds like. Rather, the bandwidth requirement gets concentrated at the shared server.
Depends on the implementation. OP talked about potential of a CDN serving the shared resources. The instance servers wouldn't have to proxy the content. Which would allow caching and not duplicating content and transmission through multiple endpoints.
Yeah, I guess it's linear rather than exponential in growth. From an instance hoster point of view, it just never ends though, and not very predictable.
