Relays act as backups basically. If one goes down, your content lives on another. This means even if you are somehow deplatformed, you can just use another client to connect with people. Or if a relay censors, you just don’t use it as there are plenty of other options.
Free relay would only be for hobby I think. Or to back up your own notes. You’d want to be sustainably funded somehow eventually hence paid relays and or other ways of monetizing (which I don’t think we’ve figured out yet)
