One common complaint we hear from Nostr haters is that there is no economic incentive to run relays or that the network will be centralized in a few central big relays. These claims often come from confusion or misunderstandings.
I think this 40s video will clear all the matters and answer all the criticisms: https://cdn.satellite.earth/8e48f90f4889d6d8def300e9d843b9b353375426212f6b6253a8ee6aaaefcf07.mp4
If anyone doesn't understand or has a problem with this answer, please, I would like to hear it.
IIUC it'll be up to clients to intelligently pull from the relevant relays in an outbox model?
Won't this make generating a feed very difficult? I'm assuming we'll need indexers or something for clients to be able to serve a feed to users in a reasonable time frame.

Income tax proposed in 1913 was insane
This is preposterous
So the idea is have Nostr relays for specific communities? Your point is that people are comparing Nostr to existing centralized system and assuming that Nostr needs to scale the same way.
I guess my counterpoint would be that lots of people have been excited about small siloed networks in the past, such as mesh network, but in practice they never scaled to the masses.
But maybe that’s fine? Idk what the end vision of folks are for Nostr. Nostr can be whatever people want it to be. A DLC oracle broadcaster, private messenger, X alternative. I’m just curious what people’s vision for it is.
How do we scale Nostr?
“Unpopular opinion: Nostr CAN'T scale to be what people want it to be. It's an all-to-all broadcast, which scales like O(n²). It will collapse in its own success.
Nostr relays are like sidechains and altcoins. It's attempting to solve an O(n²) scaling problem by having multiple copies of the same thing. It leads to Balkanization where you can't see content from or message some people.
Blockchains of blockchains were dumb and this is dumb in exactly the same way, and I can't believe all of you failed your algorithms classes.”
- Bob McElrath
So this begs the question, how does Nostr scale long term? Or do we simply expect 2 of 3 dominant relays in the long term?

I'm 5 days into #nostr (still a clunky user of primal but working thru it) with 9 followers including nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx and 1 zap from nostr:npub1gu47n7fxfm4py48jktmu6tdqcvva4e87fntynuzzf62zxnw2e7tsc6907g.
