My use case is to offer our proprietary classifications to subscribers of filter.nostr.wine. It’s expensive to run our classifier. What’s do we accomplish by adding DVMs or other middle men? I asked previously if anyone would be interested in funding an open classification action initiative but there didn’t seem to be much interest. For now I’m moving forward with the self funded proprietary version so I can start improving the data.

I think DVMs are generally only useful if they aren’t run by relay operators and either aggregate results from multiple relays or fulfill a job outside of a web socket. Nostr.wine running a search DVMs, for example, instead of using NIP-50 when search is inherently centralized anyway is just adding extra steps without obvious gain. This feels similar to that but I could be way off?
