I disagree. And also think that it would be the worst thing possible to dump more money into nostr from douchey VC types.
No disrespect to our lovely nostr advocates and marketers - how might nostr hire the BlueScam chief of marketing?
BlueScam marketer:
-convinced millions of people to leave corporation X for corporation Y
-convinced them to accept equal or worse censorship than that of X
-convinced VCs to pump $23m in something that is a complex version of a SQL database
Nostr would benefit to attract this level of (dare I say psy-op) level of talent.

Nostr is in a completely different realm than the other social media apps/protocos. The other apps feel like being in a big loud popular restaurant while nostr feels like you’re on the outside build on a new frontier.
My gut feeling is that someone is going to realize that note/zap relayed transactions are completely unstoppable and will start building an entirely new infrastructure based on the protocol.
I am not advocating for VC in nostr - this is not possible. I’m advocating that one marketer is attracted to nostr.
