Who runs the BGS? It’s the most expensive part, a few “centralized” providers will run this? What if BGS injects its own filtering? Honestly this sounds like a more complicated way of implementing centralization


Effectively yes. It's roughly a giant follow bot, run by those with the resources to do so. If you don't like its filtering, I guess you'd switch to another more to your liking.
