It might be that they didn't use it enough to "get it", nostr:npub1klkk3vrzme455yh9rl2jshq7rc8dpegj3ndf82c3ks2sk40dxt7qulx3vt said it best, using X and other legacy social media show you stuff based on an algorithm but nostr has Bitcoin payments behind it so it shows you what you would like. "And so we build a way to send and receive Bitcoin so that your friends see what's the stuff that you like. And that's a social signal that's not just likes and reposts but a real monetary cost of, hey, I value this thing. And nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc has the perfect line of, you wouldn't zap a car crash. Car crashes are something you just have to look at when it happens. You don't really want to see it, but your attention is drawn to it. You're somewhat tricked by your brain to actually look at it. But you wouldn't send money to it for how great it is. so we have a car crash economy in our attention seeking in the legacy social media that makes you see stuff that you don't really want to see but you're forced to look at it because the algorithm chooses to maximize for your attention and in nostr we can simply make that obsolete" from nostr:npub1dg6es53r3hys9tk3n7aldgz4lx4ly8qu4zg468zwyl6smuhjjrvsnhsguz podcast. I had never thought of it before but yeah some people believe more noise IS more relevant unfortunately.

Not sure if Gigi's analogy holds. People definitely pay a lot of money so they can see car crashes.

Various videogames which are all about triggering spectacular crashes were big hits in the 90s.

People also love car chases in ever action movie ever made and the car scenes in MadMax are legendary.

I get what he means, though.
