Home feed, DMs, Chat groups, Global
To stop spam you can consider limiting last to only paid relay nodes toggling them off for the rest.

So the relays I'm showing aren't really helping my feed?
they help your feed if there are numbers that aren't zero
Is spam already a big issue on nostr? Just wondering, I've only been active a short time so just getting the lay of the land... I guess it's inevitable tho right?...
I don't see any spam thanks to limiting my global to paid relay nodes. (BTW, I am running https://nostr.decentony.com and I can pay your invoice).
But this is limiting when it comes getting to know new people. For this one, nostrgram.co 's following+ is a good solution.
Curious to learn more. So if I join your relay node, does it become one of many other nodes I'm connected to (public and private?) Then anything coming through your node is filtered for spam? Am I then cut off from feeds on other nodes or can I connect to multiple at once?
Paid relays are themselves the filter as spammers will not pay to write there. Relays do not do any censoring or filtering yet.
So by limiting your global and group chat to paid nodes, you will only read from folks using those paid nodes. But you will still be able to write everywhere (your paid nodes and public).
By using multiple paid nodes you increase your coverage for global feed.
Alternatively, nostrgram's following+ which shows you from your followers and their followers. Quite neat!
Your home feed and DMs read from both public and paid. So no problem communicating with your followers.
