No one said anything about stopping someone trying to contribute a relay/node. However, do you understand how the 9 directory servers work and how they alone choose the circuits? Thereby, being able to drop your relays/nodes, if they wanted? They've already done it before with relays they deemed malicious/unwanted. My comments weren't even about that part, but at an even higher-level of the Tor network, which is the brain of the network (the directory servers).
this note brought Tor directory servers to my attention -

lucas (npub16jd…33sv) points out, doesn't this centralise Tor? it seems that who has controls over these servers, has control over what can be seen on the Tor network, and what circuits are built
