Answer : Because I'm afraid of free speech and what I see on my timeline is because of what I follow.
"Why did you stop using Nostr"

> it's an annoying fucking echo chamber of mostly crypto-bros mostly jerking each other off. with a dash of keto pics, and neonazi memes, oh and constant "GM" messages". I think it's hilarious how unaware most of the users on there think they'll "succeed"

Nah, even the most mundane #tags get a ton of crypto content, misogyny, racism, full on Nazis... A good client like Amethyst can pre-filter some of the worst, but step one of nostr for anyone who isn't into crypto and isn't a hateful asshole is to develop an extensive block list.
I follow many tags and have yet to see any of this stuff on them minus the crypto stuff. You must be following the wrong tags.
Simple tags like #memes can attract it with too much regularity. The more extreme it is, the less common, but the more tame stuff still isn't exactly uncommon. Maybe I just have poor relays configured, but that isn't really a good answer because there's no easy to find information on choosing good relays, probably because it's such an evolving topic.
Not to mention due to the lack of a centralized algorithm, Nostr content is much more unpredictable than on X.
The problem is not the relays, the problem is that you seem to be one of the usual fediverse breed of hypersensitive loudmouth.
This isn't an echo chamber.
