That's because the free relays allow anyone to connect and the scammers and bots fill up the hard drive and slow it down.

The paid relays don't fill up very fast and are quite fast because it's only users that are willing to pay. The future is paid relays for npubs that are serious about using nostr.

Every relay right now has the kind 0 data and we are fine. The only relays that purge their data is the free relays.

I see what you mean. Yes we can have different reays but I'm sure eventually the direction nostr will go is less powe to the relays and more power to the client.

I vote to give more power to the end user.

If I see Alice has N “verified” followers on one client, I want to see the same N on all clients — otherwise I have no idea what to do with the number. Which means the metrics like verified followers are personalized to me, calculated using the method that I select, and they follow me wherever I go on nostr. Which means less power to the clients.
