But suppose I’m just a lowly pleb, not a dev or a builder. How do you convince me to pay for a personal relay? Without appeal to abstract principles like censorship resistance? What will I be able to do with a personal relay that I can’t do without one?
Or perhaps you’re not necessarily targeting lowly plebs or devs, but somewhere in the middle: regular business owners who want to run a relay for their business and need to customize it and want to make it as painless as possible. Not sure I see the need for that but maybe I just need a little imagination. Pretend I am running a restaurant. Will I some day have a need for a customized business relay?
I ask bc I see web of trust as an answer to the question: I will want a personal relay to keep track of my grapevine WoT scores. But maybe there is more that I don’t yet appreciate.
