Paying for a service would be acceptable to me. I would also like to see this space promote creative, artistic and original content and pay for consumption if I wish to support that.
However that could be a costly venture if relays charge and content is charged.
Perhaps relays would be topic specific and they sponsor certain clients that would draw in users.
Needs to be fleshed out.
I like these ideas, we need more community brainstorming on it for sure.
I wonder if there is something around networks of relay operators banding together, with users subscribing to the relays in the network and paying the network itself for access (rather than relay operators directly). The network could then distribute payments to the operators.
I've seen people discuss using relays in similar manner, to help mobile users or people on slower or limited internet connections. You would broadcast to Relay-A. Then, Relay-A rebroadcasts to Relay-B, Relay-C, Relay-D, etc.
