Yeah, I think I underestimated how many people will run their own servers. And over time, if not enough people run their nodes, well, people will realize and that can change.
I think the beauty of nostr is its simplicity. So self-hosting does indeed not have to be a burden. Will definitely self-host and try it out. A public and a private relay most likely.
PS: I did read the rest of your post anyway and I didn't notice anything else wrong :) Keep producing content! Education is very important and it's okay to get stuff wrong.
Another cool thing about nostr, also, is that it can be very dynamic. Since people usually are using a bunch (or even many) different relays, some of them might be running intermittently without any real impact. You can even run your own relay on your laptop, tablet, or phone, only when you or your family/friends are connecting to it to use it, and have it off the rest of the time.
Regarding your PS: I'm not the author of the article, nor the OP of this post. I just chimed in to point out a couple of mistakes in the article, to help the OP improve it. I didn't find anything else wrong, either.
