Still don’t see if you’re paying one relay to filter spam but also allowing a free one, won’t spam make it into your feed?

2 options: some clients let you choose which relays show where. You could turn off public relays for global requests but use them to supplement everything else.
Another option is to look for public relays with spam protection. #[11] runs nostr.mom like this.
Lastly, if you do make the hop to paid relays, make sure you checkout nostr.wine and how we are bridging the gap with our filter relay. Read me here: https://filter.nostr.wine
This might help. My personal preference is a small number of popular public and paid relays, but before I had the ability to turn relays off just for global I was using paid relays only and nostr.wine filter/broadcasting to keep good coverage. #[11]
it could, if you don't have a client that allows you to filter that spam. some clients allow you to filter our your global feed based on relays.
