The blastr model forces all relays to scale vertically. It papers over the failure of clients to properly implement gossip (or whatever else is necessary to find notes) by replicating content hundreds of times.

Clients should actually implement the gossip model then

They would if they didn't work without it. A band-aid prevents people from feeling the pain

I’m not bullish on gossip model on mobile yet. I’ve yet to see a web client implement it where it wasn’t substantially slower afterwards, and that would hurt worse on mobile.

Coracle is sort of slow on mobile, but not because of gossip. It's really quite simple, and easily done in a lightweight way

I will stop using the mutiny blastr when Damus implements gossip. Until then it is a hedge for what happened today.
