Probably even true for the cashu mints

Nearly a decade and a half ago, in my early twenties, I was an administrator for a small/medium online forum. This was before social media was super popular. At first I just posted on the forum, and then the admins asked me to be a mod. And then as some admins left, they asked me to be one of the admins. So I did. I did this for like five years, for free. I was working full time, going to grad school part time, running a dividend blog part time, and yet for some reason was also volunteering a lot of time to help run this forum. Because I liked it. After years eventually I left, and someone else stepped in to take my place. All the admins were just volunteering. Anyway, that’s who runs the relays. The psychopaths.

Cashu mints are different. You can actually crank up the fees and make them break even or profitable. You try and run a paid relay nobody is going to use it.
