Nostr model (privacy and decentralization) is 💯 opposed to ad value capture (data collection and targeting). Will lead to either minimal revenue, or softening of nostr principles. Ultimately, infighting over the right way.

Disagree.
Blockstream is effectively advertising here already because they know who they’re targeting without needing data collection. Nostr, when it segments to communities and locales, will have effective advertising options the same as classifieds, local advertising, and trade publications used to.
🤔 good point, partially plausible. In a way, the nostr community as a whole is a pretty homogeneous target group because of what it stands for. And as it grows, it will tend to split into more groups centered around the respective relays.
But it doesn't make advertising on nostr particularly profitable, because it's hard to measure and report on views while keeping privacy a priority.
