This was my attempt at addressing the issue of vanishing low-value content for people who want to publish and read valuable content at a slower, predictable pace in something like an email inbox where they get newsletters:

But now I realize it was a dumb idea. The solution to this already exists in our hands and is called RSS: not actual RSS, but Nostr-powered RSS clients based on NIP-23 such as in

The only reason people started using their mailboxes as their RSS readers was because -- actually I don't know why, but I assume it was a stupid reason and we have to build for the future in which "Nostr readers" are the norm and everything is integrated into the web of Nostr, so people will not need email anymore and all their online communication needs will be fulfilled by a different Nostr subprotocol.

Yes! Also, RSS will live forever, because it's still orders of magnitude simpler than Nostr and already deployed across the Web. So we will have to use both for the foreseeable future.
