Straight from the github:
The purpose of this relay is to help bridge the gap between paid and public relays. Nostr users have started to experiment with adding more paid relays and removing some (or all) of their public relays. The problem with this approach is you start to lose content from users you are interested in as well as replies and profile metadata from anyone who does not share at least one of your remaining paid/public relays. In addition, some users you share relays with will not have all their posts or profile data load correctly because it may not all be present on the new paid relays.
Reduced reach is another problem. If you are no longer connected to some of the biggest public relays, users who no longer share relays in common with you will not be able to read your posts.
