The relay wizard probably needs a remake, it's confusing due to the way nostr relays/outbox works and the terms developers use.
To try to keep it a bit simple, "Announce..." is where you tell others:
"Hey, I post (write) to these relays, so if you want to see my posts, you should look on those"
and:
"I use these relays to receive (read) posts, so if you have a message for me, posts it there"
What you "Announce..." is just informational for others and can be different from the "Configure your relays..." section.
The first (Announce) is telling people you hang out at the mall, the second (Configure) is you deciding to go by car (paid relay) or public transport (free relay), the other people don't need to know how you get there or use the same transport, just make just you end up at same mall(s) or you will never meet.
Ideally this should all be automated/hidden without losing its advantages, unfortunately you have to be a bit of an IT admin now to get this stuff right.
