Newbie question. Can someone answer in layman’s terms. Why do I want to pay for relay? Don’t I already have ability to do everything on Nostr as it is right now? Is buying relay going to open magic door to new things like in video game?
I sent 13 people 420 sats to join the https://paid.spore.ws relay in the last 24hrs. Paid and joined a few more myself.
I can pay for 2 more people that comment below. Once I build my balance up to 30,000+ sats again, I'll pay 1,000 sats for 15 people to join the https://nostr.21sats.net relay.
Let's see of we have better luck running this round.

Mostly reduces spam in your global feed. Eventually it will also incentivize relay operators to keep the relay up.
TY🙏🙂 for answer
Paying for a relay is "pay-to-write". If you have paid to write content, people can safely assume you are not spamming. If you only post content to free relays ("free-to-write"), many users will ignore everything you post by default, unless they explicitly follow you.
You pay for a relay to be a part of the conversation, basically.
TY🙏🙂
Which relays should I buy? And how many relays should I buy?
Don’t know how post videos or pictures, prob will in future when figure that out, so in the mean time im pretty basic light user, nothing fancy, just chat with other users.
Guessing too than that users pay for relays with bitcoin only?
(Better brush up on my cowdle game skills 😆😅)
