Agreed. The ability to follow a curated relay output could be very powerful, but how is that different to the end-user than subscribing to a curated list published by individuals? One could pay to be on that list, in addition to being curated/endorsed, without needing the list owner to run a relay.

We already have that. Those are the recommendation lists, like the one Primal users are fed during onboarding. Or the follow packs, or shared lists on Listr.lol

The main difference is that a document (list) has no utility to anyone, other than controlling access. A relay is a holistic community of related services, that has limited/predefined criteria for access.

That sounds like a minor difference, but in practice, they're two completely different things.

a list ≠ a server

All relays have lists, no lists have relays.

I understand, but I still fail to see the vision of subscribing to a relay when you could instead subscribe/unsubscribe to a curated list (like a privately controlled hashtag, but for people instead of individual posts).
