 Is hard to come from a “free” social media market, to suddenly pay for 3 relays you don’t know what they do. 
Could be counterproductive.
But I see your point and agree.

 Thats why I like the zap share model. No charge upfront for the bulk of relays, but your client or preferred relay takes a portion of every zap by entering the split into the invoice when it’s called. So every time I zap 1000 sats, like 100 go to damus​ or whatever main relay I use. Then I can also treat this like a sort of built in backup service. Whoever your primary relay is can also store all of your notes. 

It might not work as I imagine it, but I still think it’s low barrier, shifts incentives toward encouraging and drastically simplifying everything around zaps (which would be huge), and could *maybe* actually be a meaningful source of sats for providers of this network.

 I love the idea and would definitely be willing to share sats.  Although I agree money should go to the clients as well, it seems like the relays have the greatest cost (maybe I'm wrong) and should get a larger portion than the clients.  The clients have more of a fixed cost that scales more easily where the cost goes up for every added user for the relays.
