Wait...Is BitChat getting normie adoption? Sometimes I forget Jack is rich and famous and has influence.

lol yea it's easy to forget when you casually see him on nostr.
the well-connected will naturally pay attention to what jack does, while methodically ignoring (or more charitably, just never noticing) all the incredible stuff everyone else is doing.
to be fair to them, robust subjective reputation systems aren't yet fully instantiated, so the only viable filtering and discovery process at their disposal is the borne-out-of-fiat connection and influence system that they swim in.
as proper bottom-up systems continue to evolve we can ignore their game more and more. I'm very bullish right now
