Selfish full node for production?

I am planning about launching a bandwidth-intensive service. My application will be running on a server with a full node, and I was wondering if I could disable peers from downloading historical blocks from my node to optimize the bandwidth for my application. Actually, stopping them from downloading any block from my node would also work Tongue

I know many of you will not like this idea because it's selfish, but I already run a second, sometimes third, node. I am aware of the "blocksonly" mode, but it's not an option as I need a mempool.
