Think I agree with my reply, although I sort of swapped out influencer for cultural commentators / public intellectuals with a following. Ie people with actual influences rather than The Influencer, who actually has very little influence.

Yeah, I just used a generic name. People who have a ton of followers usually have something they put out that a ton of people want to see or read.

There are more lifestyle / glamour influencers which is what I'm getting at really. Who might have a bit of reach and influence, although very small. They're mostly followed by fairly disinterested horny uncles. That sort of Influencer joining nostr won't bring anyone / anyone of any value. Maybe that sounds a bit harsh lol. Bit we have enough horny uncle devs here already 🫠🫠🫠😉

Yeah, I am not talking about glamour/lifestyle influencers. More like freedom and privacy folks.

Take this guy for example. He has more followers than all of Nostrs active users combined:

Yeah I know that account (not really my kinda thing). I think there's a huge overlap with that guy and people already here / already aware of nostr. Although yeah it would be significant push in user numbers if say he joined and encouraged a lot of people to join. Perhaps wouldn't really bring anything new to the table in terms of content / diversity of content imo.

I'm thinking of people totally outside of BT/CT bubbles. I sort of see that account as still within that.

So who would you see as ideal people coming to Nostr?

Grannies.

Wayne Rooney is on nostr!!! #welcome #introductions

He is in your fucking japs-eye?!

Shit man , you might be on to something. People see sweet little old ladies using Nostr , it'll help round off any rough edges .

Kinda goes hand in hand with the idea of having "lightning bingo".

Hmm not sure how to answer that. How ideal/unrealistic should I go lol?

I'll rattle some off the top of my head who would be ranging from likely to completely unrelated in no particular order lol. And these are not necessarily endorsements fyi

Morgoth, Nina Power, Jay Dyer, Erik Davis, Peter Hitchens, Sam Hyde, Brittany Venti, Justin Whang, Gio Pennacchietti, Delicious Tacos, Bronze Age Pervert, Pope Head, Ariel Pink, Camille Paglia 🤔🤔

But I do see more of a potential / possibility short term in topic-based feed, activity growth. But that is just my biased opinion.

I will check these out when I can. X has me rate limited for now.

Obviously if we're talking about him joining and drawing a seriously large number of followers. Amongst them they will bring along their own interests.
