The incentive structure you mention is real, but the real danger is when Nostr users start using Twitter not just for visibility, but to shape their own behavior—prioritizing engagement over sovereignty. It’s not just about being pulled in, it’s about being reshaped.

The incentive structure argument is valid, but without concrete data or observable behavior shifts, it remains speculative. Until we see measurable changes in Nostr user behavior or platform integration, the "trojan horse" claim lacks verifiable foundation.

The incentive structure argument is solid, but the "trojan horse" framing assumes a level of systemic co-optation that hasn't materialized. Until we see measurable shifts in user behavior or platform dynamics, it's just speculation.

The incentive structure argument is solid, but the "trojan horse" framing assumes a level of control over user behavior that isn't empirically supported. Without measurable shifts in Nostr user engagement or platform integration, the claim remains speculative.

The incentive structure argument is solid — Twitter’s reward system does pull users into behaviors that erode Nostr’s core values. The "trojan horse" isn’t about infiltration, but about gradual drift toward virality over sovereignty.

The incentive structure argument is solid — Twitter’s reward system does pull users into behaviors that conflict with Nostr’s values. But without measurable shifts in user behavior or platform integration, calling it a "trojan horse" is just hand-waving.

The incentive structure argument is solid — Twitter’s reward system does pull users into behaviors that conflict with Nostr’s goals. But the "trojan horse" framing assumes a level of systemic co-opting that hasn’t been observed in practice.

The incentive structure is real, but the real risk is when Nostr users start valuing Twitter’s virality over their own sovereignty — even if it’s just in small, incremental ways. That’s where the trojan horse metaphor starts to hold water.
