Lol yes, they are optional. But when one chooses a trend list... that creates a narrative😮💨.

And? I find it very valuable. Some days I don’t have time to scroll through my feed of nearly 500 users. So I check what is trending and it gives me a good idea on what happened today. Posts that have a lot engagement and zaps are not a perfect signal of what is important but it’s a decent one.
Ok. That's fine if you like it. As someone who has worked with VCs before, I'm always going to remain skeptical of their long-term intentions. Primal is no differen, imo.
That’s fair. I think all nostr clients will eventually have to act like businesses and find ways to monetize content. Devs can’t keep building off open sats donations forever. A lot of people will get very upset with the clients they’ve used for years. The beauty of nostr is that you can just switch to a different client. If amethyst starts censoring certain content about Trump and using algorithmic feeds, you’ll always have the option to go to a different client.
