I can see its use case. Just yesterday, we were planning to have a relay for our existing friend circle. So even if Nostr grows rapidly, we will still have our current Nostr friend circle.

Yes private relay sets should have proper support. Will just take time before that’s ready. Has many ui considerations so that’s its not too confusing.
I can understand, please take your time 🤜🤛
I can also see a good use case for this. If a user wants to support paid subscriptions to their notes/long form articles, they can post to a specific relay that only allowed paid subscribers to read from.
Ideally you could have this be in a form where the author also gets paid. It works for one author per relay but to scale to one relay to many authors, something like delegated 3rd party caveats in macaroons could work. You could also use nostr to not just get the content, but leave the content encrypted and then users could only read it once the relay gets a decryption key from the author after a confirmed payment.
