Blastr was just a relay that broadcast to the active relays over cloudflare workers, by calling up this list https://api.nostr.watch/v1/online
I tested it numerous times with Nadar and it propagated my events slower than my normal relay list, over time, even though I only write to small and/or private relays, because it eventually triggered protective reactions in some of the relays. People think it's more efficient than it was because they don't realize that you only need to write to a couple relays and then the events propagate by themselves.
They thought it was an effect of Blastr and not of Nostr.
