Why does one pay a relay at all? For read filtering and targeted feeds á la filter.nostr.wine. IMHO it should be a subscription by time.

You pay so that others will not automatically assume your content is spam. Reading from a paid relay means you are confident that there is very little spam in the feed. Creators pay for that discoverability.

You can stick to 100% free use, but majority of users will filter you as spam unless they are your follower (or maybe your follower's follower).

You can also host your own relay. People could discover your content there, but they'd need to know about your relay, and hosting costs would be much higher than simply offloading to a relay business.

Interesting. I'm seeing it. Probably should be pay-to-write and pay-for-filter.
