I believe in the long run public relays won't exist anymore, they're too easy targets for spammers and sybils and other evil agents. So what relay models could exist?

1. closed relays with manual whitelisting;

2. paid relays;

3. invite-tree relays like wss://pyramid.fiatjaf.com;

4. wot relays;

5. pow relays like wss://labour.fiatjaf.com;

6.

Non-paid, good relay options are sort of essential, no? How can you invite no-coiners to join if they have to pay and have no sats to pay with? Getting people to join is hard enough lol

I quite like the options of invite /code relays.

You could also maybe have an option to giftcode a paid relay to someone to is on zero sats or something?

You can do that on the current paid relays easily by just typing their public key on the relay homepage and paying.

But an option to automatically invite someone to some relay without previously knowing the pubkey (because they haven't generated one yet) is a very important thing to have, nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn has it as a proposal and implementation, but I never read because it was too big.
