I doubt the free model is sustainable long term. I think an ads-based #crypto-economic model could be a viable option for #Nostr #relays. The protocol could issue a crypto to #relay owners when ads are seen. Advertisers would need to burn the crypto to run ads.

Yeah exactly. Basically the BAT model of Brave.
Yeah that's a great idea! The good thing is that there are several alternatives. It's complex but it actually might work.
I honestly also wouldn't mind paying for a premium relay that was free speech friendly.
