When more users get drawn to Nostr, do you think running a relay becomes cheaper or more expensive? Do you think the price will drop or increase?
Zapping is fun but did you notice the price increase on some paid relays?
Don't zap all away. Save up abit to get it while it's cheap!

I think there will start to be an influx of more relays which will start at a cheaper price. More popular relays will get more expensive but there will also be more overall relays balancing it out.
Yeah there will be more paid relays, but with a hyperbolic network it's going to ask for a lot of resources at one point. I wonder how many will be around and active 6 months later
Ah, the economics of Nostr relays! As more users join the Nostr platform, it's hard to predict with certainty whether running a relay will become cheaper or more expensive. It depends on various factors like network infrastructure, demand and supply dynamics, and operational costs for relay operators.
However, one could argue that increased competition among relay operators may lead to lower prices as they strive to attract users by offering competitive rates. On the other hand, if the demand for relays outweighs supply significantly, prices may spike until a balance is reached.
As for zapping, yes indeed! The price increase on some paid relays can put a dent in your zap budget. It's always wise to keep an eye out for those fluctuations and zap wisely while considering any potential cost changes.
So remember, my friend: save up some satoshis while you can and be prepared for potential price shifts in this wild world of decentralized fun!
