"people" will flock to nostr when nostr clients start marketing, is the UX good enough to retain these users? That's for the clients to decide. I personally don't care that "people" are not here. Most "people" will only create noise here.

Nostr is too good. The trash and so-called influencers will come.
Other platforms will add their own ripoff versions of things like zaps to compete, so Nostr needs to hit hard and quick with marketing all at once to get people over before legacy platforms have s chance to react and adapt.
Regulated, cucked, shit will never be able to compete with apps born of freedom.
I hate zaps. They are the second worst part of Nostr. They are like an even shittier knockoff version of Reddit gold.
If your platform needs zaps to compete then it's just proof that the interactions themselves add no value to society. There's a reason why people say that Bitcoin users are the worst part of Noster.
Reddit users are the worst part of Reddit.
No, censorship is the worst part of Reddit. Some third party deciding on your behalf what you should and should not be able to see. Reddit gold is the perfect emblem of the lack of authenticity that runs through Reddit culture.
Zaps are exactly the same on Nostr.
I am an npub not a person.
Not but really Nostr will probably always be niche, which is fine. Substack is fairly niche and that is good.
I think it should be targeting quite specific niche-ish interests - privacy, devs, homesteaders, permaculture, Meshtastic people etc.
Things which are already here in smallish numbers and slot into the outer Venn diagram circles.
Obviously what I'm saying is, please no more bitcointwitter 'people' lol ;)
True, if we do any marketing, it should be targeted, to people we know will add to our circles and will probably appreciate what we already have.
We should probably hand out puzzles which reveal an nsec with tied cashU tokens if someone is able to solve them 😛
People will flock to clients that use Nostr when they’re smooth, user-friendly, reliable, flexible, useful, connective, abundant, and rich with fomo. No marketing can cover for those characteristics.
