You have to pay to subscribe, unless you were grandfathered in, with the first group. It's 300 sats/month. Which is not much, only about 25 euro-cents, but it's enough to keep out the bots.

Bots don't like to pay for subscriptions, because you can throw them off and keep the money, and then they have to spin up a new npub and pay again and again...

This works because I manually curate the feed and nostr:npub10npj3gydmv40m70ehemmal6vsdyfl7tewgvz043g54p0x23y0s8qzztl5h maintains the servers, of course. Some really would pay and just see how long they can get away with it, before someone notices, but I stalk my own relay.

I will pay for it with love and prayers.

Pray for a miracle.

So I do.
