I don't think Amber assumes relays are free because it specifically doesn't support paid relays. Relays added to Amber must be free.

"accepts events from any key", "has no auth", "is not paid"..
Right. When you add a relay to Amber, it tests those conditions, and if they're met it adds that relay to its list for user. There's no assumption that the relays are free. It specifically tests to ensure that they're free. No assumptions involved.
well, its not surprising it doesnt work because running a relay like this is a recipe for disaster, wasting money and being down all the time.
Pretty much all the relays I've used with it have worked fine and I haven't experienced any downtime or service interruption. If you're running a basic free relay, it works. I use nsec.app, damus.io, and purplerelay.com and it works just fine.
so youre ok with using a free service, trusting it with your data, that you cant replicate yourself. gotit..
cause the second that relay hits your list, it will be bombarded by stuff you didnt want.
What are you talking about? I'm talking about Amber. I have no problem with a free relay hosting public notes. They're public, not secret. Not sensitive. I specifically use paid speciality relays, including one I control, for DMs. I'm not sure what you're even talking about at this point.
dont worry about it.. i failed to explain.
