A long time ago SMTP (email) crossed having the majority of messages being spam. This is because the cost of distribution is placed on the RECEIVER. Nostr is the same way with the cost on the relays and receiver. This is a breeding ground for spam and within a few months Nostr will be unusable. The true solution to this is to place the cost on the sender, somehow. But with zaps in place I think there's probably a way to do it.
