I like that nostr.wine is a one-time purchase. I was afraid that all of these services would be monthly subscriptions. I would never ever sign up for subscriptions like that š

They might change in the future though. Thereās no guarantee
Like lots of early tech and startups, these things slowly go up in price over time. Enjoy it while itās more affordable! š·
Itās not even about affordability, I just personally canāt stand the subscription model.
I'm expecting relays to offer services to coincide with a regular subscription.
Not looking forward to monthly but they've got to cover their costs or else they can't exist.
You either pay for product, or you are the product
We will absolutely see monthly subscription relays in the very near future.

Or pre-paid relays
Inevitably the job of the relay will be content moderation/spam filtering. Call it censorship, but thankfully with Nostr it's democratized.
