Correct, though, the relay admin could technically pull the content or choose to not further relay the note/other stuff.

What Beave said 🫂💯
Anyone can do anything bad, doesn’t mean they will 🫂 we gotta give each other more credit on here 😭 I know I know, don’t trust, verify. But I can’t help it, I have faith in nostr and the people on it.
That's because you have a warm and loving mindset, Eshara.
I don't understand it, but, many people have very good intuition, and I think that many people should learn to listen to that intuition more, though, not blindly.
Besides, you'll find what you go looking for, almost always. If you want to have a feed full of warm and fuzzy stuff, you can build that here in a much more genuine fashion. That's why I've stayed. (To be clear, I'm not looking for warm and fuzzies all the time, I have a wider net to cast.)
There is one thing that I'm a touch confused about: if individuals can gain control over the protocol based upon how much they get zapped or how much they influence they have over it's feeds, doesn't that make it no different than centralized networks like Twitter or Instagram or whatever?
They don't gain control. It doesn't matter if you get zapped a trillion times. You can't control everything or really anything other than what's on your relay or what you see on your client.
Now, if you have someone that's popular, then, sure, they can influence things and maybe get something hinky done, but... It's hard to do that with the NOSTR protocol.
In the long-term, wouldn't that just lead it to a more subsidized format of the protocol?
It could, and in some ways it is, with grant money flowing in from big names. But, if anyone has the skills, they can make their own stuff to work. That's the power of a protocol vs. a platform.
