GM! ☕️ I don’t like the idea either… feels like a paywall. When this was implemented in a different scenario we were able to make the cost a fraction of a fraction of a penny… and I don’t totally understand relays, yet. But I do understand decentralized networks and I know they need a natural immunity or “line of defense” against bots

I'm right with you. I'm still wrapping my head around how relays act now and how some people want them to act in the future. It's not an easy solution, for sure, as spam will be a bigger issue with more nostr adoption.
I do think nostr:npub16jdfqgazrkapk0yrqm9rdxlnys7ck39c7zmdzxtxqlmmpxg04r0sd733sv has come up with a decent solution at the personal relay level and then the user can just decide to toggle on WoT during a spam storm and cast a smaller net of relays
