Nostr Web Client

I agree with the points below.

This is about viewing any activity on Nostr ultimately as a game. Unfortunately, as I see from my experience with interacting on past emerging platforms, for beginners this usually implies there are "winners" and "losers" until some symbiotic equilibria is reached through many disruptive attempts. I've already experienced quick burst of scammy and degenerative noise on my Nostr relays. For me Nostr is an extension of Web 2.0 with varying providers of content and self-curated feeds, which increases shareability of good resources. And I hope it stays like that for long time.

Different types if winning and losing exist I think; technologists fight over the ability to shape the medium (which is what my article is about), others exploit the medium to amplify content. Both can be good or bad. I hope the idealists can win the protocol, and the truth tellers can win the audience

I think, it's good that quality of audience also grows up. With this there's a good possibility of "quantum bounce" of culture and economics.

And incentive for maintaining relays will persist for good amount of time.

“Shape medium” sorry what medium do you mean? People that are in between of those groups?

I mean the medium in the sense of "media", for example how software companies attempt to "eat the world" by intermediating everything. The benevolent version would be to create a medium that intermediates, but which the designers are locked out of changing arbitrarily (for example, paper, the internet, language vs Gmail, Facebook, etc)
