 exactly, so, subscribers to paid relays are also almost all worth something, they usually are doing other things and some are even devs themselves

making the paid service model default will take a long time because it's a cultural thing that is imprinted in page 1 of facebook, for over a decade 
 Yeah.

Wish I could quickly tell which npub has written to a paid relay or subscribed to a client before. Like a #PaidForMyITShit badge. Blue Nostrich. 😂 
 I have donated to 0xchat for a badge on the account I use on there. I did it on a separate account instead of this one on purpose, but since you wish you had more of this info and you're cool, there's my nugget 
 Speaking of paid relays, are there any good relays that I should consider paying to join?  I feel like I should support them.  With my long form posts, I'd like them to be around for a long time after all of the work I've put into them.  What makes sense? 
 well, i use nostr.land and nostr.wine and relay.tools

@cloud fodder , who runs relay.tools, is a cool guy, and i think you can trust him to keep your data for you, i use one, in fact i should add you to the allowed pubkeys 
 you can now use my wss://mleku.nostr1.com 
 When I go to nostr.wine, it tells me it is 18,888 sats to join.  Is that forever, a year, a month, or something else.  If that is forever, it is a no brainer.  If it is a year, it is almost as certain.  If it is something shorter, I'll have to decide what I want to do.  I'll run out of sats in my alby wallet pretty fast.  I can't find details on what I'm paying for. 
 wine is once 
 ah, yep, it's a one time

the extra is to use wss://filter.nostr.wine 
 yeah it's about 10000 sat/month,  but big discounts for longer periods, 30k gets like 5 months, iirc
