Yeah 100%
The way I see it, relays (being rather simple) have a lot of options when it comes to how they want to run their feeds.
You can have a payed relay for an exclusive club (like paid discord groups), or set one up for access to a large cohort of writers (newspaper subscription), or as a way to see exclusive content from influencers (onlyfans), or simply a relay that offers a spam-free experience.
And that relay money can do some neat things (you could setup a creative collective group where all relay money gets split among top posters).
Payed relays can be anything really.
