Ya, idk how a new user figures out which relays have better controls these days. Can’t really shove a paid relay from the start, that will turn off a lot of newbs.

I guess by researching it. But I agree it’s not the easiest thing to do. When I started I used to go on nostr.watch a lot and ask tons of questions/look at what relays others were connected to. I figured out real quick that my experience was better without global or by turning off a lot of the relays in the filter of the global view
