Outbox doesn't strictly improve discovery of notes. Pre-outbox, we might have had better success, but only because we were relying on centralization. Outbox is the only way to decentralize and scale simultaneously. And for it to work, people who want it to work for their notes have to do the following:

- Publish a kind 10002 which points to relays that do in fact satisfy the purpose of nip 65 (write relays should be public read, or at least readable to people you want to see your stuff; read relays should be public write, or at least writable by people you want to be able to contact you)

- Migrate past notes to new relays when changing relay selections

- Use clients that provide relay hints in case of censorship

- Use clients that provide pubkey hints so that quotes and parent notes can be dereferenced using outbox

Right now, not a lot of clients do much of this. The ones that do have buggy implementations. So currently outbox doesn't work, and doesn't really exist. But I reiterate, it's the only way to decentralize and scale.
