I looked into it, feels pretty weird to me, I don't really get it

which parts? It's a distributed discovery mechanism for relays. So apps don't have to hardcode choices or avoid helping users select relays. We are starting to add more classification for relays so for example if you tag your relays with Discovery, or Algo, or.. things like are in this list here: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/issues/1282

then they will be discoverable with indexed tag search by any client looking for some relays.

It's not sybil resistant or trustless. It's just another way to hard code relays in your app. I'm not saying that's bad, but it's not a magical solution to relay selection.

I'm just too dumb to get it I think lol. Wisp just has its own thing to discover relays and pick good ones for users. Maybe if I see a few more people implement it so I can see it in action
