Information wants to be free. Protocols don’t care so it cannot set that information free. When it’s my data and information I have the freedom (thx to the protocol) to set my own policy on it (to restrict the free of the information). NIP-63 leverages that, it’s a choice / implementation possibily I could apply as a relay operator.

in real life a simple tag won't make any difference
its like printing something on paper and believing that just because you stamped it, people won't photocopy that paper. that is absurd. if the content on that paper is valuable then it's safe to assume people WILL keep a copy of it. that's the reason why scanners don't let you scan money
nostr makes the whole process infinitely easier, its a matter of unchecking a box on your relay settings, and broadcasting the event with a single click
We are not talking about secrets or private information here. There are other NIPs for that purpose. This is about who has access to what (and why).
exactly. and a paywall fundamentally changes 'who has access and why' from a censorship resistant protocol to a gatekept permissioned one, which simply goes against that principle
