 I think DVMs are generally only useful if they aren’t run by relay operators and either aggregate results from multiple relays or fulfill a job outside of a web socket. 

Nostr.wine running a search DVMs, for example, instead of using NIP-50 when search is inherently centralized anyway is just adding extra steps without obvious gain. This feels similar to that but I could be way off? 
 I think the best way to decentralize this would be NIP-32 labels by several classification providers across several relays. Perhaps a DVM could help aggregate these for quicker responses. 

I am not sure, however, how we find people to run classification models and provide those labels publicly for free. 
 Ok last post I’ll bring it full circle, sorry for all the spam. I’d consider this separate to the current implementation but..

I could make a DVM that accepts event(s) as input and charges for their classification. The paid classification could get published widely via a NIP-32 event. Then we slowly build an open classification database paid for by users? Does that make any sense?
