My 2 sats:
1. Same. Nostr feels more like early FB days than X. And I will mute every influencer that doesn't prove themselves on nostr. Not a fan of clients promoting them. Primal is just asking me to stop using them completely if this is the direction they want to go.
2. "Trail by nostr." You have no influence cred here if you haven't put in the work. Raw, edgy, exclusive... this is the vibe that works here from what I've seen.
3. Automated accounts are good for a laugh here and there but I don't see a big further beyond that because of engagement. And don't get me started with AI!
4. Why does Primal get to decide who should and shouldn't be a nostr influencer based on "brand growth"? The whole point of nostr is the power of decentralization. Only good point here is having this be a public conversation.
5. Most content creators aren't down for post-authorship. Simply to see the chaos from that acceleration I would love to see this happen.
6. We're zapping micro-transactions! Sure they will be worth more in the future and it will be hilarious to look back at zapping a meme that another generation will probably never understand. It takes time though! And trying to pitch both orange and purple pill together is a lot to swallow.
I'm inclined to agree with the macro event narrative, although many do not make it a month out from those. The way to fix that though isn't by having thousands of mirrored accounts but by developing the creators that already exist here. Focus on building nostr for the plebs that use it, not for the ones who don't yet exist.
The quality of the engagement on nostr is just as important if not more so than the fact that we zap bitcoin.
Oh, and Primal sucks btw. Not a top nostr client at all!
