Maybe following people is overrated.

It's totally doable to use Nostr by just following relays instead. You can get a very nice and well-curated feed today by just browsing wss://nostr.wine or wss://pyramid.fiatjaf.com -- and this is because basically no one even knows or is aware of this mode of doing things and we don't have the relay infrastructure necessary to enable such flows, so it has a lot to improve.

Maybe we should really only be following at most 50 people each, only the people we want to ensure we will not lose sight of, and people who have been banned or inhabit a different ecosystem (of relays) than the one we frequent the most. Aside from that just following a bunch of relays, either grouped together or in different tabs.

Yeah... Seems to defeat the entire purpose of the thing?

Have a feeling relays with no censorship will be the most profitable moving forward.

No, they actually can't. Nostr is a protocol. Anyone can start a relay. Nobody can stop you from starting one. Takes like 15 minutes. I've got 9 relays running, at the moment, including one on my cell phone.
