We might need to introduce a one time processing fee to deter spam accounts. What do you think? API is still free and accessible, so it’ll only be required to use web uploads. I know it’s a little crazy to charge for a free upload, but I am not sure how else I can limit endless creation of accounts to abuse the service

Proof of work (via one time payment) is an established way to prevent abuse. If you wanted to keep it “free” you could hold it in a pseudo-escrow account. You keep if the account spams but you return if a good faith user wants to close their free account. To my understanding Some no-KYC exchanges do something similar to incentivize the two unknown parties to act honestly. That’s fairly complex but an option.

I finally got into my free account but Unfortunately I can’t get it to upload anything on mobile. It doesn’t seem to load all the way.

Just go to https://nostr.build and you’ll have the old screen as before. Good suggestion, I’ll need to think about it.

Ok, that worked. Thanks 🙏
