You do not have to use a paid relay. But let's say for some reason all relays become paid to combat bots like you mentioned. If that happens, at least it won't be an attempt to KYC all users. Nostr allows you to be anonymous. X on the other hand very well may make it impossible to be anonymous. I just don't see this happening though. We will always have a value for value model.
