The best, paid relay? How about Twitter?
I think you're missing the point of Nostr.
Besides https://nostr.watch, what other resources are there to help users choose relays? nostr:note1vh3zlhz0lqazqla4yc60d9a7r6deghhhy3qm70nqgdmm0gxuqpcqvnd5w6

Are you suggesting the point of nostr is that it’s free? To me the point is data ownership and censorship resistance.
Nostr can be whatever you want it to be though :)
No sir , Nostr Protocol is Freedom… yu can host ur data by running ur relay.. Many Informations till Nostr r censored n blocked the reach … Nostr Protocol is way better for now till more advanced techs…
No - if there was a "best relay" that implies that most users would want to join this relay. Nostr is - in theory - censorship resistant, because there's no "best relay".
“Best” is defined differently by users which is why having more information about individual relays is useful. There will always be bigger relays that users gravitate too, even with a successful gossip model.
It’s censorship resistant because the data is replicated, portable, openly accessible, and self signed.
So wouldn't you agree, that it would better, if users don't have to pick a relay? Because if properly implemented (protocol), it shouldn't make a difference?
What you're describing sounds like a Matrix / Mastodon problem.
In fact, if you give users the choice, it does exactly what you're describing
> bigger relays that users gravitate
Isn't that the opposite, of what we're trying to achieve?
