Hi Jeff - out of interest have you read the age of surveillance capitalism by Shoshana Zuboff? Weighty read but well worth it. One summary is via 3 questions she poses around the landscape - "who knows? who decides? Who decides who decides?" As you say #nostr could be significant on redressing the balance of some of those.
Would be interested in your thoughts on who bears the cost of running this - and in which ways? Given no such thing as a free lunch etc
