That isn't a crazy idea, right?
We just need one client-independent relay that every client may offer as a default, for 30 days per npub or so, so that new users have someplace to start off from.

Great idea, this will give a grand welcome to every new #nostr user with lots of engagement and Zaps.
Most opposite thing compared to other platforms.
This seems like general infrastructure for public use, that benefits all users by making the protocol more attractive to newbies, rather than something we can expect individual client developers or relay operators to finance and run indefinitely.
Otherwise, we risk skewing viable business models and getting newbies trapped in a client.
This would also even the playing field a bit between clients, as currently only the VC-funded stuff can afford "free to use" relays. That might spur innovation.
