Is it tho? Some centralised relays like lol has been self funded and continually improve its spam filters etc over the year and picked up on adoption, purely by merits. We seem to be passing some AA clause that merits don’t matter. 

If we want relay players to have fair chance in growing their business, then it’s not abt decapitating the big players - but finding ways to enable small relays to be more accessible, selectable, and have a fair chance in the game. 

The problem was that gossip was great theoretically but execution strategy was open to various interpretation. And some went for quick fixes. 

But if go one level further on what the problem is - then the problem is relay discoverability and adoption . If we look from this angle, this now opens up many more solutions on getting diverse relays out there.

i think if there is funds and creators, then we should not limit everyone into a tiny box and force them to come up with solutions
