You cannot have a completely open network and have the immediate visibility of brand new users rise above spam... unless they join a paid relay, or host their own, or do something with a high POW, or KYC

quoting nevent1q…7vv4

First, this is just our aggregator and filter.nostr.wine - not anyone else’s relay. Nobody is forced to use our aggregator but keeping spam off of it long term is more important to us than a slight delay in brand new pubkey discoverability.

If that #introductions hashtag is filled with infinite spam, you also will never discover the new user.

The advantage of this over WoT based relays is as soon as the user reveals themselves to be legitimate (could be after just a few minutes of their original event) none of their old content is lost.

There is going to be some cost to being discovered as a brand new pubkey on an open protocol where there are no account creation limits. We think this solution is the least harmful.
