Competition from "free" relays and many of us chatting on other networks.
Discussion
I'm not looking at those relays for my DM inbox though (and everybody can see that, since I sign an event to say where I'm looking).
I would very much like to set a price for a private line of contact with me (for npubs not in my contacts/follows) and I'm nobody. Imagine the more valued npubs.
People might pay to scream at me, that's true. Then I wouldn't have to run away and hide, as I could monetize their hate. 😂
