Is anyone here on paid relays only? Is that a thing? Or is that a bad idea?
Anyone have recommendations for videos or articles on choosing relays?

🙋‍♂️ full paid relays only here, is not a bad idea unless you seek more followers (influenstr) which probably better mix with some public relays.
I find its usually a bad idea. It really limits the amount of notes you see. Majority paid with some public is a good mix. Something like relayable.org that streams from other popular relays is a an option to have. nostr:npub18kzz4lkdtc5n729kvfunxuz287uvu9f64ywhjz43ra482t2y5sks0mx5sz has a nice note from yesterday of the top 25 relays. A mix of paid and free.
Definitely not paided only. I have a mix. The paid ones have definitely sped things up.
We made https://filter.nostr.wine as a way to enable this without losing access to content or reach. Without bridging the free/paid relay gap the experience is suboptimal.
