it’s hilarious how a lot of HWWs use SEs that are broken, are uncertified or made for cheap IoT devices (often all of these)… or none at all
if your device is stateful a quality SE is a must, it’s only a few dollars more

We are taking a concept originally used in a context where real people verified their real identity in person and often required multiple signatures to be marked trusted, and trying to apply it so that “trust” is established by you wanting to see their content in your feed, and one follow being enough.
But I guess it’s too hard to not be realistic about things.

You suffer the consequences of your own actions, in this case a system which can be easily manipulated and encourages self censorship
Why did no social media platform implement WoT for spam and bot filtering?
We may hate them but they also aren’t stupid, and have poured way more time and money into bot detection than Nostr ever will in the next 5-10 years.

Nostr.land is monthly subscription.
Nostr.wine is one time pay. One time pay relays expects enough people join per month to pay off the server costs (like a ponzi scheme) or cross-subsidize between products (so it loses money).

Made it cheaper how?
On the surface it may seem like it but you have to realize this availability of space meant more demand and more fees, until the market reached the amount they would pay reasonably per byte stored
Contain more spam, sure, but also contains more non-spam TXs

Inscriptions could happen before SegWit, it would have only meant fees would have gone up a little less.
