I've been noticing this bot/spammer today. This is the problem with free relays. Bots & spammers can easily connect to free relays and start their spamming.
There will always be free relays but relays that care about keeping Nostr free from spam should charge a fee just to be part of the relay. It doesn't even need to be a big fee. That would clear up the spam and make it too expensive for bots to operate.
Free relays are going to become full of trash as Nostr becomes more popular. Paid relays are the future.

You can see which relays the spammer is connected to and using to spam. I noticed that after I deleted the relay from my relay settings I was not able to see the spammers post anymore. The spammer seems to be connecting to different free relays and spamming but it is also using multiple accounts which makes it harder to beat.

I added many different free relays to my relay settings to test and understand relays. I'm starting to understand how relays are important and will be important as Nostr gets more popular.

Boycott the relays that allow spammers and don't clean up the spam fast.
