PSA:
Please put only 3-5 relays in your relay list.
If you have too many relays in your list, then everyone who wants to send you a note or read your notes has to connect to multiple relays and that consumes a lot of bandwidth and compute.
You will have a much better experience on Nostr if you decrease the number of relays in your lists. This is a very common issue we see for White Noise. People have 30 plus relays in their list, and things start to get really weird.
