Frens, I've opened up my relay to the world. Please feel free to use it: wss://n.ok0.org
I hate the idea of paid relays and I've also discovered that the bazillion other nostr relays are mostly walled off. There aren't that many free relays that will carry notes, so I'm just throwing mine to the pile. It also worries me that some of us only have 1-2 relays in common.
wss://n.ok0.org will block crypto bot shit, so if you're trying to do shitcoin giveaways, then the relay will not accept that note.
Somewhat related, if you want NIP-05 verification as you@ok0.org, let me know and I'll set that up for you too.
