Elon is buying out influencers, via rewarding them through a black box.

He can basically push or mute whatever exposure he likes through this program, just by paying thoughts leaders more, or less.

As you mentioned, it’s like magic, and whether we like it or not, it’s not something we can compete against on nostr.

We’re not going to outbid the Fiat Rankings Leader for exposure just yet, especially while there is still no clear path to fairly pay clients builders and relay operators.

I see nostr as a very long term solution (10+ years) to keep true free speech alive, short term think we should just focus on UX and education instead while nostr stays up as a life raft in case of global social media platform shutdown.
