One might think "normies suck, they wouldn't improve the place" but I think that's wrong because normies aren't *completely* normies

Almost everyone has several different interests, and those who don't share interest F are normies from the perspective of fans of F. But that doesn't mean they aren't interesting people worth hearing from. Joe Shmoe isn't interested in bitcoin but maybe he's interested in history, or playing cards, or something else I like. So I want him to be here and I want to hear from him.

But Joe isn't here because he goes where his favorite celebrities are, and they aren't here because there aren't good enough tools for managing an overwhelming number of messages. If celebrity absence creates normie absence, and if normie absence creates a worse experience, then nostr will have a worse experience than places where normies gather.
