My understanding is that you're helping cover the costs and it also keeps the spam bots out (since they would have to pay). But think about it. Every note whether spam or not is replicated and stored in a bunch of relays. On hard drives in some server farm. Just growing in size and costs.

thats why its great to run your own private relay

I am running my own relay. But I'm the only one connecting to it. You still need the big centralized ones to get everyone else's content on your feed.
