If someone like Joe Rogan joined nostr it would be seen as a monumental win, however the behavior of users would immediately start to shift from creating to consuming.

While you are not obligated to follow celebrities, their presence and content has a ripple effect, causing the whole platform to become performative. The result is most users just take a back seat and become passive consumers.

Twitter would not have survived without the arrival of the celebrities, yet we saw how that turned out in the long run.

AGREE BUT ALSO WOULD STILL BE DIFFERENT THAN CENTRALIZED MEDIA.

MANY INFLUENCERS AND CORPORATE TYPES RELY ON DELETING POSTS, BLOCKING PEOPLE, RESTRICTING REPLIES, AND GAMING CENTRALIZED ALGOS.

NOSTR FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGES THAT INCENTIVE STRUCTURE.

True, unstoppable communication is one thing which can't be replicated by a centralized platform.

Trying to imagine how things play out and can't help recall an article posted just yesterday which said Musk was hiring 100 content moderators for X in 2024.

When parasites find an opening they'll exploit it - requiring someone, somewhere to deal with it.

In a decentralized network who is responsible for separating the controversial from the abhorrent? It’s the inverse of the celebrity problem.

Completely different topic, not trying to change the subject. 😆
