There's just too much downside to the gardens with fences of 'paid' relays, is all I'm saying. Pay to post is the same if there's no option to post for free, like once every hour (reactions not included, maybe).

Proof of Work solves this and lets you verify its not spam without any of that.

Let's not be greedy for a monetization system. We need it to be engineered for freedom first. I don't have any doubt, people will voluntarily run software they believe in and that provides the world with a public good, without needing to be paid.

Solving spam without building fences is what we should focus on, not pushing people to pay for access to the gardens.
