 Sure. You see the notes from spammy relays but only when you want to. 

For example, you can use a client like get-tao.app to look at the spamiest notes possible (from anon accounts, the only barrier to post is POW) or you can use your insular ingroup client when you only want to talk to fellow turkish rug enthusiasts.

Easy to imagine clienta that would allow you to seamlessley switch between the two contexts

 Ok, so we're agreed that you do have to be isolated on the insular group in order to avoid the spammy notes, but you're proposing that being able to easily switch to spammy relays solves for that.

I suppose when the turkish rug enthusiast relay goes down, we take a break from talking about turkish rugs? What if it never comes back?

And why can't both spam and communities be solved at a client level to achieve the same thing?

 The group can have multiple relays, obviously.

 They could too, more options is better
