Only a tiny portion of people consistently create content. They still have some conversations but not the same level of production value or curation you’d expect from a more mature social network.

Since people who post are usually a small fraction, it takes a lot of people on the platform to produce a decent amount of content to consume. The majority of things we consumed on Twitter likely came from a handful of “super creators”.

What I’m saying is that we need a lot more users just to get a handful of consistent creators. It’s a numbers game.

Thing is, nothing stops anyone from adding to the network. If you are looking for specific kind of content, YOU could be the person to create or curate it. And naturally this has benefits for people who take time to do this - they’ll acquire a following faster. There are advances to being an early user and bigger advantages for early creators. That is, if you believe nostr will continue expanding.

Right now it’s looking like it’ll be a gradual ramp up and not a sudden explosion of users. The dopamine triggering centralized behemoths are highly optimized for that one thing and we just don’t have that on nostr (yet).

It’s a subjective experience depending on what you do and what you like. Personally I have a blast every day but I’m not on for empty consumption of news or any type of media.
