 people pay more for a nip05 than a relay for 1000 of their frens.  this is a client induced marketing nostr paradox. 
 Nip05 are a status symbol 
 relays could be too.. but the ux is 'too damn hard' vs a single checkbox. 
 I blame D Ross 
 People like gimmicks 🤪 
 Relay just plumbing 
 well, design me a nice looking toilet then.  with a nice warm water relay bidet 
 Id recommend Toto 
 Plumbers literally keep us all alive. 
 Thank them for the shower, and also everyone else involved 
 Thank them for pipes that separate poop from drinking water. Doubled the human life-expectancy. 
 Twitter clone legacy 
 Social media data management was financed by harvesting data, and we removed that profit source by making the data public, and replaced it with nothing. 
 Well, guess what?

We could solve this easily by providing services like "pay monthly, get more perks".

While hosting relay, You also serve paid NIP-05 service. But on top of that, If user pays for one subscription, They could store their note forever while kept using their nip-05 address.

And here's the thing.
Why no one has thought doing about this?

 This is not new phenomenon, it's called Tragedy of the commons.

You obviously could make them all payable, but then ppl would just use the "free" alternative (Twitter)
