If relay implementations come with spam filtering then you don't need a middleman, you just update your open source filters.
The cost is extremely low if people share small relays. I can host a relay for 20 friends for $10/mo, split 20 ways this is super low, and will get lower.
Some relays like nostr.wine and Relayable.org (npub16fc…shgh) will offer premium services
I imagine services that also make it easy to make your existing PC both a relay and a client and maybe just offer the DNS for free.
And other services will offer a relay as a perk for being a member.
There are a lot of ways this will work imo.
