The issue with saving a playlist as an RSS feed is that I have to have a domain, and a server, and a https certificate for that server, and...

Where as if it was a nostr event it could just be signed and published to a relay

neither option is better UX for new users. but for existing users (and myself) its much easier to create and manage nostr events then it is to manage RSS feeds

So I'm trying to understand the mechanics of nostr. Doesn't nostr need servers to work as well? Like a relay is just a websocket server right? And to connect to the server I need to know the domain or ip address of the server? Like doesn't wss://relay.damus.io/ need a valid HTTPS/TLS certificate since it's working on wss? And doesn't it have a domain, which is damus.io?

yes, however the difference is as a user I can use other users relays. I don't have to have my own relay to make my events (data) available. whereas for RSS I need to have FTP access to my server. or a friends server that is configured with my domain
