they still don't, unless you put "payment-required": true in the nip-11 as well

why have "auth-required" at all people

and i was railing against the clients up until i learned that one of the mechanisms existing for it, that i have contributed to by paying and using, does not enforce exclusivity of access to privileged messages, and it's closed source

i'm still feeling kinda cold on this because it's not logical, any of it, and it took such a lot of mean words to get anyone to even think about it properly
