 Honest question: what’s the incentive to run a relay? I understand that it is not the same as bitcoin, where you run a node due to privacy and source of truth, or miner for financial returns. There is also no need for each relay to have all the information exactly as other relays. But the distribution of relays is somewhat important to resist the censorship in the future, thus incentives for more users to run relays is important.
