It is only a reflection of what you interact with most. For me, I can’t help but get into arguments about politics, science, crypto, philosophy.

Every time on go on X, I see posts from people who post rage bait, and I always give in.

It is designed to be addictive, and to maximize your screen time. That’s how X makes money.

The beauty of Nostr is that there is no incentive for it to be addictive in this way.

there is definitely that incentive for clients, but no one is taking advantage of that yet

People would just use FOSS clients that don’t show ads.

everyone acts on different incentives

True, I guess some people would use feature rich and well supported ad based clients. Kind of like choosing photoshop over GIMP, or windows over Linux

many people want their hand held with tech/apps

Because the zap environment this make the place better for who stays here
