We don't do ads, nor sell our users' data, which is why OPA is completely paywalled.

Dude you know nothing about the app. Its for meeting bitcoiners near you. Quit with the baseless claims. Your ignorance is showing.

I think its hillarious that you gripe about a paid service when #nostr has paid private relays. If you want to filter out spam you are forced to pay a subscription fee to these paid relays. By putting up a paywall #[7] has filtered out virtually all spammers/scammers. I think they may have had 1 guy that kept trying to pay to scam and eventually gave up after being removed several times.
