To those who dislike the idea of paid relays, what's your proposed solution? And don't say "everyone running their own relay", because my 25 years of experience tell me that will *never* happen. Some will do it, but the vast majority will not. So how do relays recoup the cost without ads and without being paid? I'm genuinely interested in your solution ideas.

I think there will be clients that offer relays with ads or as part of a subscription fee, might even be the Twitter company.

My issue with ad-driven relays is that they invariably result in algos that drive people to the most contentious content in an effort to increase engagement and grow revenue. That's how Facebook and Twitter became the hellscapes they are now. So while I'm not against advertising in principle, with social networks it's never worked well.
