My brother works in big tech and everytime I bring up nostr he mentions that its ridiculous that people are building something for no compensation.

He always says, we'll whats in it for them to try and build something great that will only be copied by the next guy. Its a shame because he is a very talented software engineer. In fact its funny because his political Philosophy is very liberal and borderline socialist yet he can't grasp the concept of nostr.

Not to say nostr is socialist, rather that him being of a socialist political bent is wrapped up in a techno capitalist monopoly style mind set when it comes to software.
