The point of using multiple relays is censorship resistance. For censorship resistance to be a thing, the same post need to be on multiple relays and any two people who want to follow each other need to use multiple relays.

Why would you want any moderation whatsoever at the relay level?

> be a paid relay

That'd lead to even less adoption. People don't generally pay to be on social media. Not even very very little. Mainstream platforms handle this by having a business model where the non-paying users are what paying users are actually paying for.

> And an app would just help people sign up and pick topics/communities they like, and then they would immediate have a main feed of strangers posting about things they actually are interested in.

But what's of this that can't be achieved with either Nostr Communities or hashtags?

> The communities could assist choose to be secret and not report to any people running a directory/app.

To me this seems to be the only usecase of this.

Why are big relays a problem?
