 this is true.  clients 'decided' relays were a cost center and shoved all their cost there, while raking in the zaps on the frontend. relay settings were too hard for a UX etc. 

clients will realize there is a demand for relays when the notes stop flowing and none of their users was educated about how or why.  feels to me, we are at this point now.

i am hopeful for helping clients discover relays with nip66, its hard for 'the market' to exist if nobody can find the storefronts.  so nobody knows what to do.  nip66 will solve this problem so we can habe marketplace for relays just like a nostr apps store.

i am not dooming about this stuff im simply trying to educate.. im a little sad that my nostr exp feels cut in 1/2 because one big relay throttled, if we dont point it out everyone just thinks nostr ded.
