The one that does 100 custom jsons per day is very hobbyist as you say and the Steemit nodes won't even feel it. Regarding the streamer bot, I'm not sure of bandwidth/resource use so I am mentioning @gtg and @drakos in this comment for insight. If anyone else has an effective way of testing the load an app uses I would be interested to know, we are currently looking at bandwidth use monitoring solutions, but don't have anything concrete yet.

I'm running all of these from home and it has no noticeable effect on my residential bandwidth, so I'm sure from a node perspective it's collectively almost nothing. But what tiny amount of resources I'm using is something I'd be very interested to know, if only to satisfy my own curiosity.
I think it comes down to more the server cpu load and tps more than how many GB per month it uses.
That’s far from accurate. You can make queries that take very little network but hammer the shit out of a node.
I don't disbelieve you, but I have no idea how to characterize what such things would be.
It would probably be useful if some of you who have an idea how this works would document it for the people out here who are using the nodes but don't. Right now we're pretty much doing whatever we want because we don't know any better.
