A lot of Nostr is already headed that way.
Everyone can use Nostr.Build, but if you want to organize your media or upload full videos and use their AI and etc., then you pay.
(Yes, I pay, it's a good service.)
Everyone can read from wss://some.relay.com, but only paid users can write Kind 01, so anyone looking at the relay feed directly only sees their stuff. And everyone can use the search bar, but the quality of the search results goes way way up, if you pay, as there's an intelligent search machine kicking into gear on the server.
The people who don't pay don't even realize that there's any difference. You can just see them whining in the comments about spam, or not being able to upload a movie, and asking people, if they know how to find some note and etc.
(Laughs in subscriber.)
