The problem is, the developers are now obsessed with "only see your follows", so that model is prominent in the OtherStuff.

We're going to try to counteract it, on Alexandria, by having the global from high-quality relays set as the default, and using better searching and labeling. We're only going to include follows as one factor in how prominent something is, on the front page.

Otherwise, a couple of "bookpert npubs" could completely capture the market, by getting people to follow them and then everyone would only look at their recommendations.

I think the definition of a #nostr 'app' will be a combination of specialized client and dedicated relay.

I think this is a good thing, actually.

I do, as well, so long as the end-user has the ability to change the relays.

Yep. That’s the beauty, they have an exit option. I am building that capability in my component - the user can switch to a new home relay and delete everything on mine.
