I always disliked this idea that relays are good abstraction for feeds... running an entire server just to serve one feed is wasteful.
Let CDNs do their thing, and allow anyone to author feeds that are easily readable with data integrity.
Servers are hard and should be done only once, uploading and updating lists once you have servers is super cheap.
Question: If nothing is curated, how do we find things?
Answer: Nostr relays that function like magazines.
Each of your contributors gets whitelisted to post on the relay. They are contracted to post X times per week. Readers just read from the relay.
Nostr clients need to support this UX. hodlbod (npub1jlr…ynqn) rabble (npub1wmr…g240)
