I think it would make them more useful for creators if they knew it would reduce spam AND allow their audience to interact with them. That’s been one of my concerns with paid-only relays. If I’m someone creating content to monetize it, then it actually hurts my reach if I have to require people to pay to engage with it by joining the same relay.

Yep, the 'allow tagged' is perfect for that.. and also for DMs, groups and nip17. I just turned that on for nostr21.com ... When I turned it into a paid relay, I bootstrapped it w my follows, since then maybe about 40 people paid 21 sats to join (in the last ~8 mo).. total 1091 members.
