Thx for explaining it to me. I’m not that familiar with the technical stuff about nostr, but that’s a good point with the missing incentive keeping up a relay.

You could make people pay for using your relay but to make that happen you have to offer a huge added value, so people think it’s worth it.

But for social media I don’t see that case. People are used to get that for “free” and would stay with the free relays and get annoyed that relays disappear altogether with their posts. I don’t see that the mass will accept that.

I think it’s more likely to happen that relay runners will seek profit from advertising companies.

Is it possible to setup a relay and only show e.g. posts about sneakers?
If yes, relay runner could define their niche, so advertising companies could reach a specific target group through them and pay the relay runner.

I’m really curious how that will be solved.

Time will tell. ✌️
